Summer parties

The festivities of Alaró are celebrated throughout the week preceding the 16th of August. On this day the eradication of the plague in the seventeenth century is commemorated by the miraculous intervention of San Roque, after attending the prayers of the 
parishioners.

For a week the town enjoys numerous leisure and cultural activities, concerts and a night of art, Alart. There is a parade of floats and the giants Cabrit and Bassa, in addition to the popular ‘joies’ (jewels) races. These horse races are named after the jewels that hung from the green reeds that the winners received in the past as prizes.
