On Sunday the "Fira des Pebre Bord" will be held in Felanitx. This
fair conserves the name that it had when it was used by the local families
to buy the "pebre bord" that they would later use to make "sobrassada".
Nowadays the fair continues to be an important date in Felanitx that announces
the beginning of the traditional "matances" (pig killing).
The
programme
that the
Town Hall has organised
for the "Fira des Pebre Bord 2002" begins today and will continue until
Sunday 20. Concerts, exhibitions, theatre and entertainment activities
will complement the commercial, artisan and agricultural fair. The choir
SINÄJOKI (Finland) will perform on Thursday, Teatre de la Sargantana
and the local band on Friday, Jaume Prohens will open an exhibition on
Saturday, Jazz Tà Big Band will play on Sunday, and a show of "gloses"
(traditional oral poetry) will end the fair.
