As part of the Sa Fira de Porreres celebrations, the town comes alive again for one of Mallorca’s most evocative autumn traditions – Nit de les Ànimes, the Night of the Souls.
🕯 Nit de les Ànimes in Porreres 2025
📍 Plaça de la Vila, Porreres
🗓 Friday, 31 October · from 19:00
🎃 Free entry · Family-friendly
Rooted in ancient customs, this night once marked the moment when souls were believed to return home. Families would light candles, carve lanterns from pumpkins or gourds, and leave offerings to guide the spirits of loved ones back to warmth and light.
Today, Porreres transforms this heartfelt tradition into a magical evening of community, creativity, and remembrance:
✨ 19:00 – Gran Festa de la Nit de les Ànimes: come in costume and join the spooky fun with pumpkin-carving and rosary-making workshops.
🍩 19:30–22:00 – Bunyols by Turi Picó – traditional Mallorcan treats fried fresh on the square.
🎶 20:00 – Astronautes Estrellats live concert – energetic pop-rock to end the night.
If you’ve decorated your home, you can even join the Mapa de Cases del Terror de Porreres — email fmora@porreres.cat to be featured.
👻 A beautiful blend of folklore and festivity, Nit de les Ànimes is where Mallorca’s past meets the playful spirit of today.
