Halloween has caught on in Mallorca, and each year brings more trick or treating, themed events and parties across the island. Long before it arrived, though, Mallorca already had its own supernatural celebrations: Nit de les Ànimes, the Night of the Souls, a tradition that still lives on in towns and villages today.
We’ve rounded up the best family Halloween events for this year, along with the local traditions, sweets and workshops that make this time of year in Mallorca a little different.
Nit de les Ànimes: Mallorca’s own Halloween
Nit de les Ànimes falls on 31 October, the night before Tots Sants (All Saints’ Day, 1 November), and leads into Tots els Difunts (All Souls’ Day, 2 November). Rather than ghosts and costumes, it’s about remembrance: families light candles, visit cemeteries and share sweet treats in honour of loved ones.
In the past, candles were placed inside bottles, fruit or hollowed-out pumpkins and set by the door, in the kitchen or on windowsills to help guide souls home.
Tots Sants is still a day for family visits and traditional sweets: panellets (almond marzipan balls), bunyols (fritters) and the rosari ensucrat, a sugar rosary strung with candied fruit, sweets and trinkets. Bakeries make them in the days leading up to 1 November, so look out for rosaris hanging in the windows.
Today, these island traditions sit happily alongside carved pumpkins, costumes and haunted houses, giving Mallorca a Halloween that mixes local culture with plenty of family fun.

Trick or Treating
If you’re after some US-inspired door-knocking fun, you’ll find it here too, but it’s not common and you need to know where to go. The towns of Esporles and Sóller are known for family-friendly ‘truco o trato’ routes, with some residents decorating houses and handing out sweets. Around Palma, the neighbourhoods of Son Dureta and El Toro (southwest) both draw small crowds of sugar-searching school kids. As elsewhere in the world, only knock on doors with spooky decorations to invite you in.
Local and Free Events
Experience Halloween the island way by joining local festivities organised by town halls across Mallorca. In Alcúdia, the old town celebrates on 31 October. In Palma, Parc de Sa Riera usually hosts a full line-up with storytelling, live music and kids’ shows, and the municipal libraries run free children’s activities in the run-up.
Other villages often run rosari workshops, lantern making, terror tunnels and face painting. Programmes tend to come out a week or two before, so check your local ajuntament’s website or social channels.
Holidaying in Mallorca for October Half Term?
Late October weather is usually mild, but evenings are cooler and you’ll want to wrap up warm if heading out after sunset.
If you’re planning a trip to the island for mid term holidays with the kids, there’s a good chance of a few beach days, but a hotel with a heated or indoor pool keeps everyone happy whatever the weather. See our pick of family stays for October half term and if the skies do turn grey, our rainy day activities have you covered.
