Sant Pere (Fishermen's Festival)
On 29 June, the feast of Saint Peter, patron of fishermen, Menorca celebrates its seafaring traditions. In Maó (with events on 27 and 28 June) there is a crossing of the harbour, traditional sailing and the typical 'joc des capellet'; in Fornells the fishermen's guild holds its maritime procession.
