Pollença Festivals 2027: The Best Fiestas and Events in North Mallorca

Your complete guide to the most colourful local celebrations in Pollença, Puerto Pollença, Alcúdia and the surrounding towns and villages throughout 2027.

Colourful parades, street dancing, fireworks, music, food, wine, and centuries-old traditions. There's nothing quite like a Mallorcan fiesta!

One of the great pleasures of staying in North Mallorca is discovering that the island offers so much more than beautiful beaches and sunshine. Throughout the year, look out for off-season opportunities when towns and villages come alive with celebrations that offer a wonderful glimpse into local life.

From the spectacular Moors and Christians battle at Pollença's famous La Patrona festival to (my favourite) the bonfires of Sant Antoni, traditional fishing celebrations in Puerto Pollença, and the grape-harvest festivities of Binissalem, there's almost always something happening.

As owners of Villa Esquina, we've put together this guide to the biggest and best festivals in and around Pollença in 2027, including plenty of local favourites visitors might otherwise miss.

North Mallorca Festivals 2027: Dates at a Glance

Planning your Mallorca holiday around a fiesta? Here are the key dates for your diary.

Please note: Dates based on fixed annual celebrations or established festival patterns are provided for planning purposes. Exact 2027 programmes, event times and some festival weekends remain subject to confirmation by local organisers.

Winter Fiestas: January and February

Sant Antoni and El Pi, Pollença

16–17 January 2027

One of Pollença's most extraordinary traditions takes place mid-January.

The festivities begin on 16 January with bonfires, music and celebrations throughout the town. But the main attraction comes the next day, when they bring an enormous pine tree from the Ternelles estate through the streets of Pollença.

Participants erect the tree in Plaça Vella, coat it in soap, and surround it with cheering spectators as they attempt to climb to its summit.

Known as El Pi de Sant Antoni, this is one of the most distinctive spectacles in Mallorcan village life. It's noisy, energetic and wonderfully authentic.

Nearby Sa Pobla also hosts one of Mallorca's biggest Sant Antoni celebrations, particularly on the evening of 16 January, with traditional dimonis (devils), drums, bonfires, music and dancing.

Don't miss the pine-tree procession in Pollença or the dramatic, fire-filled celebrations in Sa Pobla.

Sant Sebastià, Pollença

20 January 2027

Just a few days later, Pollença celebrates Sant Sebastià with the traditional Cavallets i l'Estendard procession.

Two performers dance inside colourful horse costumes while a huge ceremonial banner is waved through the streets. Accompanied by traditional music, it's a fascinating glimpse into the town's history.

Carnival (Sa Rua), Pollença

Expected Saturday 6 February 2027

Carnival brings costumes, decorated floats, music and family entertainment to the streets.

Pollença's Sa Rua is traditionally held on the Saturday before Ash Wednesday, with local groups and families joining the parade.

It's a particularly enjoyable celebration for children, with colourful costumes and a friendly community atmosphere.

Spring Festivals: March, April and May

Easter and the Davallament, Pollença

Good Friday, 26 March 2027

One of Mallorca's most moving religious traditions takes place in Pollença during Easter.

On Good Friday, the Davallament (Descent from the Cross) ceremony begins at the top of the Calvari steps.

A figure of Christ is ceremonially taken down from the cross and carried in a solemn procession down the famous 365 stone steps, continuing through the old town.

The atmospheric setting, illuminated procession and centuries-old ritual make this an unforgettable experience, whether you're religious or simply interested in local culture.

Easter is also a lovely time to visit Pollença, with spring flowers, pleasant temperatures and a quieter atmosphere than the height of summer.

Spring Fairs: Muro and Port d'Alcúdia

April 2027

A short journey from Pollença brings two particularly appealing spring fairs.

Muro's Fira de Sant Francesc, traditionally held on the Sunday after Easter, celebrates agriculture, livestock, crafts and rural traditions. In 2027, it is expected to be on 4 April.

Port d'Alcúdia's Fira Nàutica i de la Sípia is usually held during April, traditionally around the third weekend. Combining boats and maritime displays with dishes prepared using locally caught cuttlefish, it's a popular event for food lovers and families.

Both offer excellent opportunities to experience Mallorca beyond the main tourist attractions.

Fira del Vi, Pollença Wine Fair

Expected April or early May 2027

Wine lovers should put Pollença's annual Fira del Vi high on their list.

Held in the beautiful Cloister of Sant Domingo, the fair brings together vineyards and winemakers from across Mallorca and beyond.

Visitors can sample regional wines, meet producers and discover just how sophisticated Mallorcan winemaking has become.

The 2026 fair took place on 25–26 April, but the exact 2027 dates have yet to be announced.

Whether you're a knowledgeable wine enthusiast or simply want to try something new, it's a wonderful way to spend a spring afternoon in Pollença.

Es Firó, Sóller

Monday 10 May 2027

One of Mallorca's most spectacular historical festivals takes place in Sóller.

Like Pollença's La Patrona celebration, Es Firó commemorates a successful defence against an attack by corsairs. In Sóller's case, the original events took place in 1561.

The celebrations include elaborate re-enactments, with locals dressed as Moors and Christians and dramatic scenes staged around Port de Sóller and Sóller town.

Processions, music, traditional costumes, and celebrations fill the town.

The main re-enactment is expected on Monday 10 May 2027, following the traditional Sunday fair.

Our tip: This is a lively, crowded event. If you want to experience the atmosphere without the busiest battle scenes, explore Sóller earlier in the day.

Corpus Christi and the Dance of the Eagles, Pollença

Expected Sunday 30 May 2027

One of Pollença's most unusual traditions is the Ball de les Àguiles, or Dance of the Eagles, performed as part of the Corpus Christi procession.

Two women dance inside elaborate eagle costumes, traditionally decorated with jewellery lent for the occasion. Sant Joan Pelós, another symbolic figure, accompanies them.

This remarkable ceremonial dance has been preserved in Pollença and is unlike anything you'll see at the island's more conventional street festivals.

It's a particularly special event for visitors interested in Mallorcan history and folklore.

Early Summer: June and July

Sant Joan, Midsummer Celebrations

23–24 June 2027

Mallorca celebrates the arrival of midsummer with festivities associated with fire, music, and the sea.

In Muro, the patron saint festivities of Sant Joan run across several days, culminating on 24 June. Celebrations traditionally include outdoor parties, community meals, performances and fireworks.

Elsewhere on the island, the evening of 23 June features midsummer bonfires and beach celebrations.

Sant Pere, Puerto Pollença

Around 29 June 2027

The beautiful harbour town of Puerto Pollença (Port de Pollença) celebrates Sant Pere, or Saint Peter, traditionally associated with fishermen.

Expect a programme that may include traditional music, dancing, concerts and celebrations of the port's maritime heritage.

It's a lovely time to enjoy Puerto Pollença's waterfront, restaurants and relaxed evening atmosphere.

Sant Cristòfol, Pollença

10 July 2027

A less familiar but entertaining local celebration honours Saint Christopher, the patron saint of travellers and drivers.

Traditionally, local lorry drivers gather to bless their vehicles before travelling through Pollença and nearby coastal areas.

Expect plenty of horns and local enthusiasm if you're in town!

Mare de Déu del Carme, Puerto Pollença

16 July 2027

One of Puerto Pollença's prettiest summer celebrations honours the patron saint of the local parish and protector of seafarers.

The festivities traditionally feature a maritime procession, with decorated boats travelling across the bay, accompanied by religious and community celebrations.

Music, dancing, family entertainment, and a festive atmosphere fill the waterfront.

Don't miss the boat procession, one of Puerto Pollença's most memorable local traditions.

Sant Jaume, Alcúdia

25 July 2027

Alcúdia's walled old town is a wonderful place to visit at any time, but it becomes especially lively during its annual Sant Jaume festivities.

Celebrations traditionally build towards 25 July, with concerts, parades, street entertainment, traditional dancing, children's activities and other cultural events.

Wandering through the historic streets during the celebrations is a great way to experience Alcúdia's community spirit.

Nearby Sa Pobla also celebrates its summer patron saint festivities during the second half of July, with concerts, dancing and activities around its central square.

The Highlight of the Year: La Patrona, Pollença

La Patrona and the Moors and Christians Battle

2 August 2027, with celebrations in late July

If there's one fiesta we'd recommend experiencing during a holiday in Pollença, it's this one.

La Patrona is Pollença's biggest and most famous annual celebration, honouring the town's patroness, the Mare de Déu dels Àngels.

The festivities span several days, with concerts, street parties, traditional dancing, and celebrations throughout the town.

Everything culminates on 2 August, when the famous Moors and Christians battle takes place.

The dramatic re-enactment commemorates the events of 1550, when townspeople, led by local hero Joan Mas, fought off an attack by corsairs associated with Dragut.

Hundreds of participants wear traditional costumes, and the narrow streets fill with spectators as the two sides clash in a noisy, spirited performance.

The day traditionally begins early with the Alborada, a musical procession through the streets, and also features the traditional Cossiers dance.

As evening approaches, Pollença becomes one enormous celebration.

It's quite unlike anything else on the island.

Our tip: Wear comfortable shoes, take water and expect extremely busy streets, loud bangs and plenty of excitement. For younger children, the earlier celebrations and traditional dances may be more comfortable than the main battle.

August: Music, Culture and Coastal Celebrations

Festival de Pollença, International Music Festival

Expected August 2027

Pollença's renowned international music festival is a cultural highlight of the summer.

Held in the beautiful Cloister of Sant Domingo, it welcomes accomplished musicians and performers to an atmospheric open-air venue.

The programme has traditionally focused on classical music while embracing other musical styles and performances.

The 2026 edition took place in August. The 2027 concert dates and programme will be announced nearer the time.

Cala Sant Vicenç Summer Festivities

Mid-August 2027

The beautiful coastal village of Cala Sant Vicenç also hosts its own summer celebrations.

Traditionally held in mid-August, the programme includes concerts, cultural events, family entertainment, and other festivities, often centred around Cala Molins.

It's a lovely opportunity to spend an evening in this spectacular coastal setting.

Sant Bartomeu, Sóller

24 August 2027

Sóller celebrates its patron saint, Sant Bartomeu, with summer festivities, traditional music, street parties and cultural entertainment.

If you're visiting Sóller or the surrounding villages during August, it's well worth checking the programme.

Deià International Music Festival

2027 programme to be confirmed

For something a little different, the beautiful mountain village of Deià hosts a long-established international music festival.

Concerts take place in atmospheric venues, including Son Marroig and other historic locations in the Tramuntana mountains.

The programme centres on classical and chamber music and attracts musicians from Mallorca and around the world.

The 2026 season runs from May to October, making it an appealing cultural excursion outside the height of summer.

Combine a concert with an afternoon exploring Deià or nearby Valldemossa.

September: Harvest Festivals and Local Traditions

Processó de la Beata, Santa Margalida

Expected Sunday 5 September 2027

One of Mallorca's most distinctive traditional processions takes place in Santa Margalida.

The Processó de la Beata honours Santa Catalina Thomàs and features residents dressed in traditional Mallorcan clothing, decorated floats, music and dancing.

Look out for the dimonis, mischievous devil figures who dance through the procession and dramatically smash clay pots.

It's a colourful, entertaining and wonderfully authentic local celebration.

Festa des Vermar, Binissalem

September 2027

If you enjoy wine, food and a lively street party, Binissalem's annual grape harvest festival is not to be missed.

Festa des Vermar celebrates the area's winemaking heritage with events that traditionally stretch across several weeks during September.

Highlights include grape-treading competitions, parades, live music, wine tastings, communal meals and the famous grape-throwing battle.

You may also encounter the traditional fideus de vermar, a local noodle dish associated with the harvest celebrations.

The main activities generally take place in late September, but the full 2027 programme has yet to be announced.

Our tip: The grape battle can get very messy. Wear clothes you don't mind staining!

Autumn Fairs: October and November

Fira d'Alcúdia

Expected 1–3 October 2027

Alcúdia's annual autumn fair is one of North Mallorca's most enjoyable family events.

Usually held on the first weekend of October, it fills the old town with agricultural displays, traditional crafts, local food, music, children's entertainment and cultural activities.

Recent editions have also featured a Roman-themed market and historical performances that celebrate Alcúdia's ancient heritage.

It's a fantastic excuse to spend a day exploring the town's historic streets.

Fira de Pollença

Expected 13–15 November 2027

Pollença's autumn fair is a wonderful opportunity to discover the town's traditional crafts and rural heritage.

The Fira dates back centuries and today brings local producers, craftspeople, food stalls and exhibitions into the heart of Pollença.

A highlight is the artisan exhibition in the Cloister of Sant Domingo.

Expect local food, handmade goods, traditional products, and a lively street atmosphere.

The main fair day is expected to be Sunday 14 November, with activities over the surrounding days.

Dijous Bo, Inca

Thursday 18 November 2027

One of Mallorca's largest and best-known traditional fairs takes place in Inca every November.

Known as Dijous Bo, or Good Thursday, it's a huge celebration of the island's agricultural, commercial, and cultural traditions.

The streets fill with stalls, livestock displays, agricultural equipment, regional produce, crafts, food and entertainment.

Thousands of visitors come from across Mallorca to experience the atmosphere.

For a truly traditional Mallorcan fair on a grand scale, Dijous Bo is an excellent choice.

Fira de s'Oliva, Caimari

Expected late November 2027

The charming village of Caimari, at the foot of the Tramuntana mountains, is famous for its olive-growing heritage.

Its annual olive fair celebrates the harvest and the production of Mallorcan olive oil.

Visitors can learn about traditional olive cultivation, sample local oils, explore market stalls and enjoy regional food and crafts.

This is one of our favourite types of Mallorcan event: relaxed, authentic and centred on the island's food and farming traditions.

Other Autumn Fairs Worth Exploring

If you're visiting North Mallorca in November, look out for two more local favourites.

Muro's Fira de Tardor, traditionally held on the second Sunday in November, celebrates local produce and crafts, with pumpkins taking centre stage.

Sa Pobla's Fira de l'Arròs Pobler celebrates locally grown rice, traditional food, music, and the area's agricultural heritage.

Both offer a chance to discover a quieter, more traditional side of Mallorca.

Tips for Enjoying a Mallorcan Fiesta

Most village fiestas welcome visitors, and many outdoor activities are free to enjoy.

A few tips will help you make the most of the experience:

• Check the final programme. Precise timings and activities are often announced only a few weeks beforehand.

• Arrive early. Major events such as La Patrona and Es Firó attract large crowds.

• Expect road closures. Town centres often become pedestrian-only during celebrations.

• Prepare for noise and crowds. Fireworks, drums, fire runs and re-enactments can be loud, especially for young children.

• Make time for the food. Local fairs are an excellent opportunity to taste regional dishes, wine and produce.

• Stay into the evening. Many celebrations really come alive after sunset.

For updated programmes, check the websites of Pollença Tourism, Alcúdia Town Council, Sa Pobla Tourism and the individual festival organisers.
