On the eve of Midsummer Day, many towns in the Illes Balears celebrate its magical night. Fire is the main attraction, to dance around the bonfires to the beat of the music or to join the ritual of purification.
Several cities and towns in the Illes Balears celebrate the Nit de Sant Joan, including Palma, Calvià , Deià , Muro, Felanitx, Son Servera and Sant Joan, on Majorca; Formentera, the city of Eivissa, Santa Eulà lia des Riu and Sant Joan de Labritja.
Horse Show in Ciutadella
But the event which most represents this festival doubtlessly takes place in Ciutadella, Minorca. The Sunday before St Joan Day, a man roams the streets barefoot dressed in leather, representing the saint and inviting everyone to participate. On the 24th, the enormous square in Ciutadella fills with people to see the caixers, pagesos, the casat, thefadrÃ, the senyor and the capellà , accompanied by cavallers and thefabioler, who play the shawm. The caracoles of horses mounted by expert horsemen is a worthwhile show
