Flexas Festival 2025 in Palma is getting ready to light up the city. On July 4th, the Parc de la Mar will once again host this unique and massive celebration, which this year commemorates 21 years of history. Officially declared of municipal interest by the Palma City Council, the festival promises to once again be an explosion of music, color, freedom, and activism, with a program that blends culture, performance, and LGTBIQA+ advocacy.
A festival with history (and soul)
The first Flexas Festival was held in 2005 at the corner of Llotgeta and Pes del Formatge streets, in front of the iconic Bar Flexas, the heart and origin of the event. What began as a spontaneous street party to celebrate the bar’s anniversary has grown year after year into one of Palma’s most popular summer events, now drawing an average of 15,000 attendees and moving to the Parc de la Mar for safety and comfort.
Since then, the festival has become a must-attend date in Mallorca’s summer calendar, with the unmistakable flair of its host and soul of the party: Pepa Charro, best known as La Terremoto de Alcorcón.

Music, performances, and an international surprise guest
Flexas Festival 2025 will once again feature a vibrant, diverse, and inclusive lineup. On stage at Parc de la Mar, there will be up-and-coming performers and big-name artists, along with moments of humor, performance art, and surprises. As tradition goes, one of the most anticipated moments comes at midnight, when the International Surprise Artist takes the stage — their identity kept secret until the very last minute. Previous surprise acts have included Massiel, Samantha Fox, Azúcar Moreno, Leo Bassi, and Tomeu Penya.
The evening also includes the presentation of the legendary Gamba de Oro, an award recognizing outstanding figures in the world of culture.
A party, yes… but with a message
What makes Flexas Festival unique is not only its artistic value but also its deep commitment to diversity, equality, and inclusion. Born in the Canamunt neighborhood with strong community support, the festival has always been a safe and open space for all identities, and a voice for the LGTBIQA+ movement in Mallorca.
As stated by the City Council, the festival promotes a culture that is contemporary, participatory, and barrier-free. Since 2017, it has held the Public Interest Activity declaration.
Flexas Kids and family-friendly vibe
Flexas Festival 2025 also offers a special space for kids through the Flexas Kids program, which includes inclusive and fun activities for the whole family. It’s a way to promote values of love, freedom, and respect from an early age, bringing generations together in one joyful celebration.
