Deeply rooted events also take place, such as the Sash Ceremony for the Vermadors and Vermadores and the traditional Festivities Proclamation, as well as the Tribute to the Elderly, honoring the wisdom and living memory of the town.
Gastronomy also plays a key role, with events such as the Fideus de Vermar at Can Arabí or the Sopar a la fresca, where thousands of people gather in the streets to share food, tradition, and a joyful atmosphere.
The Parade of Floats is one of the most anticipated and popular events, with troupes full of humor and creativity filling the streets with laughter, music, and celebration. The festivities culminate on the Sunday of the Festa des Vermar with the Offering of the new must to Santa Maria de Robines, protector of the harvest—a symbolic gesture that connects the town’s winemaking past and present.
Throughout September, Binissalem comes alive with traditional music, concerts, dances, theater, children’s games, workshops, wine tastings, exhibitions, and vibrant street life, offering an authentic, open, and participatory experience for both residents and visitors.
