Primer Diumenge de Maig: Santa Eulària's May festival

On the first Sunday in May, which in 2027 falls on the 2nd, Santa Eulària des Riu celebrates the Primer Diumenge de Maig. According to tradition, it recalls the day the old church collapsed down the cliff just after Mass ended, without anyone being hurt. The day begins with Mass at Puig de Missa and ball pagès beside the church; afterwards, in the village centre, traditional carts, Ibizan hounds and classic vehicles parade (in 2026 the carts did not go out because of rain). The 2027 programme is yet to be published by the Ajuntament.
