It's party time in Alcudia every July as they celebrate their patron saint, Saint Jaume, whose main day is on July 25th.

Celebrated across Mallorca in honour of Saint James, the Festes de Sant Jaume mark one of the island’s key summer festivities. While many towns host their own programme of events, Alcudia in the north of the island offers a lively and authentic celebration.

Festivities typically include a mix of traditional and modern events, from cultural workshops and local sports to live music, parades and community gatherings. 

Other towns across the island, including Santanyi, also celebrate Sant Jaume with their own unique programmes, often featuring street performances, markets and open-air events that bring the local community together.
