The main plans for Sant Sebastià in Palma

The Sant Sebastià 2026 festivities combine tradition, popular culture and musical proposals, with a programme designed for all audiences and spread across several key days in January.

Sant Sebastià Petit: family plans

On Sunday, 11 January, Sant Sebastià Petit will take place, a day especially designed for families, held at the Parc de la Riera.

Throughout the morning, children will be able to enjoy a wide programme including musical performances, theatre, circus, games, creative workshops, mini-disco, climbing wall, children’s train, parades and caricatures, as well as educational and environmental activities.

The programme also includes environmental workshops with Emaya, road safety activities with the Local Police and EMT, and a full circus programme with continuous shows such as Gran Hotel, Circ Mecànic, Món Pirata, as well as balance and aerial acrobatics demonstrations.

In addition, a circus initiation area will be set up, where children can try disciplines such as aerial hoop, balance ball, juggling or hula-hoop.

The programme is completed with stage performances such as La pingüina viatgera, El millor dimoni del món, El drac que va perdre el somriure or El tresor de la mar, as well as the parades of Pallalàndia.
All performances will include a sign language interpreter, reinforcing the inclusive and accessible nature of the event.

Music and afternoon sessions

One of the formats that has become firmly established in recent years is the afternoon sessions and vesprejos, which allow people to enjoy music in a more relaxed, daytime atmosphere.

On Saturday, 17 January, these afternoon sessions will take place at Plaza Rei Joan Carles I and Plaza Mayor, with DJ sets and live performances aimed at a broad audience. This format has become one of the most popular plans of Sant Sebastià, ideal for those who want to enjoy music without waiting until night-time and to combine it with other activities in the centre of Palma.

Other highlights

The Sant Sebastià 2026 programme also includes the Diada Ciclista and the Premis Ciutat de Palma on 20 January; the Trobada de Gegants on 24 January; and the Volada d’Estels on 25 January, which will feature a preliminary workshop at Ses Voltes and the final kite flying at Parc de la Mar.

On the same day, the correfocs will bring the festivities to a close, with the participation of numerous ‘collas de dimonis’ from across the city.

A festive January in Palma

The Sant Sebastià festivities are a perfect opportunity to enjoy Palma in winter, combining popular culture, live music and outdoor plans that bring the city to life beyond the high season.

While the full programme with schedules and artists is still to be confirmed, this first preview already allows visitors and residents to start planning one of the most distinctive festive months in the Palma calendar.
