👀 Good to Know
– Exact programmes are often announced only a few days before each celebration.
– Many festivities include live music, local markets, traditional dances, processions and fireworks.
– Some of Mallorca’s most authentic celebrations take place in smaller villages, making them well worth the trip.
– Popular events such as La Patrona in Pollença or Mare de Déu del Carme in coastal towns can become very busy, so arriving early is recommended.
👉 You’ll always find the latest programmes, schedules and event details on The Calendar Mallorca as soon as they’re announced.
