Sant Sebastià

Just seen that another fiesta is happening in the Sant Antoni week on the 20th, Fiesta de Sant Sebastià, details can be found on the left under Events & Fiestas, anyone have any more info on this, is it on the Friday? It will be brilliant to have two fiestas in the one week to go to!

Sant Sebastia is mainly a Palma fiesta although there are probably some towns on the island that celebrate it as well .

I just found this on-line:-

Sebastian was proclaimed patron saint of Palma on the 20th January, following the miraculous ending to the plague of 1523-1524. On the eve of San Sebastian, concerts taking in various musical styles are held in the squares of the old quarter of the city.

I think they celebrate it in the town as well?
