Departure of the Estol de Xeremiers and opening ceremony of the festivities

In Artà, the festive season begins with the procession of the Estol de Xeremiers and the opening act of the fiestas. The starting point is the Escola de Música and the Ajuntament, bringing music, local institutions and community life together in one place. It is a ceremonial start, shaped by a traditional procession and the sound of the xeremiers, with the sense that something special is about to begin in Artà. On Mallorca, an opening act like this is more than a formal moment. It marks the transition into days when local traditions, neighbourhood spirit and public celebration come together. If you are in Artà on this date, you will see the town at one of its most lively and tradition-rich moments.
