What's On and fiesta dates
Menorcans welcome any tourists who want to join in with the fiesta celebrations, local businesses close, streets are blocked off and a street party ensues with horsemanship displays, parades of Giants from local and neighbouring towns, a carnival of colourful floats, food, drink and music, people of all ages, a funfair and on the last night a spectacular fireworks display! Catch one if you can….
