Month of Childhood & Adolescence 2026 in Palma – Over 100 Free Activities for Families
A whole month dedicated to Palma’s youngest residents! 🎈
From 4 to 28 November 2026, Palma celebrates the Mes de la Infància i l’Adolescència (Month of Childhood & Adolescence) with more than 100 free activities for children, teenagers and families across the city.
Organised by Ajuntament de Palma, through its Department of Education, in collaboration with around 60 organisations, the programme brings together everything from creative workshops and family concerts to sports, museum visits, storytelling, outdoor adventures and community celebrations.
And there’s a good reason behind all the fun: 20 November marks World Children’s Day, commemorating the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
This year, Palma is extending its celebrations from one week to almost an entire month, giving families even more opportunities to discover, learn, play and participate.
Whether you’re looking for a weekend plan with the kids, an educational outing or something a little different after school, there’s plenty happening across Palma.
