This summer, from July 24 to August 2, the charming town of Pollença in northern Mallorca bursts into life to honour its patron saint, the Mare de Déu dels Àngels. La Patrona is one of the island’s most spectacular celebrations - a unique blend of faith, folklore, and fierce historical drama. Preparations for La Patrona begin well before August. In mid-June, locals volunteer to take on the festival’s key roles - the Christian hero Joan Mas, the fearsome pirate Dragut, the flag bearer, and the lieutenant - continuing a tradition that connects generations. On July 24, the official start of the festival is marked by the thunder of cannon shots and the peal of church bells, announcing that La Patrona has begun.

Each summer, as twilight settles over the northern coast of Mallorca, Playa de Muro transforms into a lively nocturnal fairground. The Feria Nocturna, held along the beach promenade during the last weekend of July, is part of the area’s annual festivities—a celebration of local culture, food, and community spirit.

If you’re looking to experience Mallorca beyond its beaches and resorts, mark your calendar for one of the island’s most charming summer traditions: the Feria Nocturna in Sant Llorenç des Cardassar. This magical Night Fair transforms a peaceful inland village into a lively celebration of local food, music, crafts, and community spirit - all under the warm August night sky.

The festival of L’Assumpció de la Mare de Déu, the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, is one of Mallorca’s most cherished summer traditions, blending centuries-old religious reverence with local artistry and community spirit.

Every August, the historic towns of Capdepera and Cala Ratjada on Mallorca’s rugged northeast coast come alive with one of the island’s most exciting summer celebrations: the Festes de Sant Bartomeu. This festival, honouring St Bartholomew, blends ancient tradition with modern festivity, bringing fire, dance, music and community spirit to the streets.
