Menorca marks Sant Antoni 2026 with over 100 cultural and festive events across the island
Later that same day, at 8.00 p.m., the Teatre Principal de Maó will host the traditional Sant Antoni concert, performed by the Balearic Islands Symphony Orchestra (OSIB). The concert will feature young Menorcan performers Cristina Álvarez, Samantha Bagur, Arnau Tarragó and Ricardo Bosch. Both the institutional event and the concert will be streamed live on YouTube.
The programme also includes activities scheduled before and after 17 January in various municipalities. Highlights include a correfoc with percussion in Ferreries on Friday 16 January, as well as exhibitions, guided visits and popular culture events in Ciutadella, Alaior and other towns.
One of the cultural highlights is the exhibition “Josep Bagur. Humanism and Resilience”, opening on 24 January in Ciutadella. The exhibition pays tribute to a key figure in Menorcan art, whose work is characterised by a humanist approach, expressive neo-figurative language and a deep exploration of the human condition.
Additional events include guided tours of archaeological sites such as Torre d’en Galmés and the traditional Sant Antoni Glosat, to be held at Can Saura at the end of January.
The official poster for Sant Antoni 2026 has been designed by Menorcan illustrator Ariadna Saurina. Created using watercolour techniques, the artwork reflects a traditional and symbolic vision of the festivities, inspired by rural imagery and long-standing local traditions.
