A well-established Irish tradition in Calvià
The celebration of Saint Patrick in Santa Ponça is one of the most anticipated events of the year for the Irish community living in Mallorca. In fact, Calvià is the only municipality on the island where this festivity dedicated to Ireland’s patron saint is officially celebrated.
Although it is a tradition that originated in Ireland, more and more people from different nationalities join the celebration each year to enjoy its atmosphere, music and culture.
