🎉 Festes de Fornalutx 2026 · Nit de l’Art, Traditions & Village Celebrations
One of Mallorca’s most beautiful mountain villages gets ready for its annual Festes de Fornalutx, with more than two weeks of art, music, local traditions, family activities, food and plenty of reasons to fill the village streets.
Running from 27 August to 12 September, the programme begins with sports, a summer carnival and the Nit de l’Art, before the main celebrations take over from 4 September. Expect everything from the traditional Davallada del Bou and ballada popular to late-night verbenes, a charity fideuà and one very local sopar a la fresca.
