The Association of Neighbors of La Soledat has revived the Sant Joan festivities with the aim of once again making this celebration a space for coexistence, identity, and popular culture. From June 19 to 27, the neighborhood will host a program of activities that seeks to recover a tradition that for decades was part of the daily life of La Soledat and the festive heritage of Mallorca.

Unity is strength. This universal message, which "was true 70 years ago, is true now, and will be true 70 years from now," is what the president of the new Soledat neighborhood association, Miquel Coll, wants to convey to the neighborhood's residents. "In the face of this bombardment that tells us 'you can do anything,' something that isn't true individually," says Coll, "we have to work together to move forward." As a first step, they will reach out to the neighborhood's residents to revive the festival of Our Lady of Solitude, which will take place the weekend of September 13 and 14. "The idea is to make ourselves known so we can build strength," adds Miquel.
