Fiestas for Sant Roc in Porreres

The rockets and devils, the raising of the flag and the traditional reading of the proclamation will open the programme of the "Festes de Sant Roc" in Porreres, on Friday, August 9. As in other years, the fiestas will include street parades, several sports events, exhibitions, concerts, dances and theatre, amongst other entertainment.

Amongst the novelties, worth stressing is the opening of the new Museu d'Art Contemporani in Porreres, with the exhibition "Joan Miró Litògraf", from the Collection of the "la Caixa" Foundation, that will show an unedited part of the artistic personality of Joan Miró in the field of graphic arts. The opening will take place on Saturday, August 10, at 7 p.m.

The same Saturday, as from 9 p.m., the "Torrada Popular" will be held, with music by Música Nostra, Espais Verds, Orquestra Oasis, Orquestra Rodamons, Freemen and the show by Madó Pereta. At sunrise, the Filharmònica Porrerenca will play the song "Matinada Porrerenca" and hot chocolate and ensaimadas will be served to the survivors of the Grand Porreres Night. This year the programme will continue until Friday, August 16, the day of Sant Roc, when the religious ceremonies will take place.
