Mallorca kicks off the pre-Christmas season this weekend (November 23 and 24) - and how! Palma is ablaze with lights, Swedish Christmas magic beckons in Av. Joan Miró and indie rock sets Es Gremi alight. There are also cultural highlights and charitable events that appeal to all the senses.
Magic lights in Palma: the big moment
On Saturday evening (23 November), Palma will once again become the festive center of the island. Three parades begin at 7pm, carrying futuristic costumes and bright colors through the streets of the city center. The routes: From Carrer Riera via Carrer Unió to Plaça Joan Carles I, from Parc Sa Feixina to Avinguda Antoni Maura and from Carrer Sant Miquel via Plaça Major to the Town Hall Square.
From 7.40 pm, central squares are transformed into creative stages: Circ Bover performs acrobatics in Plaça Mercat, dancers tell fairy tales in Plaça de la Reina, and moving sand paintings reminiscent of the origins of the universe are created in the town hall square. The highlight follows at 8.30 pm with the big countdown, when the lights go on in 226 streets of Palma.
Julbasar: Swedish Christmas in Palma
On Saturday and Sunday (November 23/24), the Swedish Christmas market at Av. Joan Miró 113 brings Scandinavian charm to Mallorca. From 1pm to 8pm, Glögg, Pepparkakor and handmade products invite you to ring in the Advent season in a Nordic way. Admission is free and the atmosphere is as relaxed as it is warm - an insider tip for Christmas fans.
Cultural and musical highlights
At the Teatre Principal, José Sacristán will delight audiences on Saturday and Sunday at 6 pm with "La colección" by Juan Mayorga.
