Sa Rosa des Vents will close the "Festa Marinera" of Sant Pere in Maó

Maó will celebrate on Saint Peter's saints day, June 29, the traditional "Festa Marinera", that this year will take place on the old fishermen's quay (explanada de Llevant).

The programme will start at 4 p.m. with the "Regata de Sant Pere", followed by a demonstration of Latin Sail and different regattas (Optimist, Snipe, cannoe, Laser...). At 7 p.m. there will be the popular crossing of the port by swimmers followed by traditional games in the sea and children's entertainment by the puppet group Trukitrek.

The festive day will end with a grand sardine supper and the Habana songs concert by Sa Rosa des Vents, accompanied by the "cremat" by Casal Català. The "cremat" is a hot drink, typical of the Habana singing, based on rum, coffee, lemon peel, cinnamon and sugar that is flamed to burn off almost all the alcohol.

The "Festa Marinera" is organised by Amics de la Mar, Escoltes Paco Ramonell, Club Natació Maó, Club Marítim de Maó and Ajuntament de Maó, with the collaboration of the Autoritat Portuària de Balears, Creu Roja and Casal Català.
