Palma Christmas Market

The Palma Christmas market, the Fira de Nadal i dels Reis, is Mallorca’s big year-end fair, split between the Plaça Major, for nativity scenes and decorations, and the central walk of the Rambla, for crafts and food. The city council sets it up in the street, free of charge, and in both 2024 and 2025 the stalls were open from 10am to 9pm every day. In 2025 the fair ran from 22 November 2025 to 7 January 2026. The 2026 dates were not yet known as of 27 October 2026.

Palma Christmas market dates and opening hours

The 2026 edition has not yet been announced. The last two set the pattern: from 22 November 2024 to 6 January 2025, then from 22 November 2025 to 7 January 2026. The fair therefore opens around 22 November and stays in place until Epiphany, the feast of the “Reis” that gives it its name.

The opening hours are the same every day, 10am to 9pm, and the municipal rules require every stall to stay open for the whole run of the fair. This timetable applied in 2024 and 2025 and is to be confirmed for 2026.

Plaça Major, Rambla and Parc de ses Estacions: where the fair is held

The fair is split between two main sites, a few minutes’ walk apart. The Plaça Major hosts the nativity scenes and figures, Christmas trees, decorative candles, toys and all the Christmas decorations. The central walk of the Rambla gathers the crafts and food. In 2025 the Parc de ses Estacions had a smaller group of casetas at the foot of the city’s big Christmas tree. Palma also has travelling Christmas markets on Via Roma, the Plaça d’Espanya and at the Porta Pintada.

What to bring home from the Palma Christmas market: nativity figures, turrón and mulled wine

Nativity scenes are the heart of the fair. The Plaça Major is devoted to them, from figures to full constructions, and the city council’s rules give priority to certified local products. On the Rambla, the craftspeople sell ceramics, leather, jewellery, engravings, wood, textiles and glass. On the food side, the casetas offer turrón, tambor d’ametlla, an almond sweet, marzipan, cured meats and spiced mulled wine.

The Betlem de Cort and Palma’s other Christmas markets

In the centre, the town hall displays its nativity scene, the Betlem de Cort, designed by the Associació de Belenistes de Mallorca, which recreates old Palma around the figures of the Nativity. Two other markets round off the season. The Mercado de Navidad at the Pueblo Español was open from 5 December 2025 to 4 January 2026, from 12:30pm to 11pm. The Rata Market Nadal was held at the Palau de Congressos from 6 to 8 December 2025.

How to get to the Palma Christmas market

From abroad, Palma is reached by air: compare winter flights with the airlines before booking. The fair’s two main sites are in central Palma, less than 200 m apart, and the Parc de ses Estacions completes the route.
