Colonia Sant Jordi hosts a week of entertainments for all the family. From sporting events to live music, drinks and dinner, to plenty of fun for children.
The seaside town of Colònia de Sant Jordi in honour of Saint George, the Festes de Sant Jordi offer a charming, local take on one of Mallorca’s most beloved spring traditions. Set against a backdrop of turquoise waters and relaxed coastal life, the celebration brings together community, culture, and the simple joys of the season.
At its heart is a timeless custom, the exchange of roses and books. Streets fill with stalls overflowing with fresh flowers and literature, where loved ones gift red roses as a symbol of affection and books as a celebration of knowledge and storytelling. This unique pairing creates a romantic yet intellectual atmosphere, often compared to a blend of Valentine’s Day and World Book Day.
Throughout the day, you’ll find open-air markets, author signings, live music, and community events, all set against a backdrop of spring sunshine and festive spirit.
In Mallorca, particularly in areas like Palma and smaller villages, the celebration carries a relaxed, local charm while still reflecting its deep cultural roots. The Festes de Sant Jordi are more than a festival, they are a celebration of love, culture, and tradition, where stories are shared, connections are made, and the spirit of the island comes beautifully to life.
