Christmas Lights Events

Palma Lights Switch On

🗓️ Nov 22
⏰ 19h
📍Plaça d’Espanya | Palma

Palma’s festive lights switch-on is a spectacular start to the season, with live music and street performances leading up to the traditional countdown that sees the city centre turn into a sparkling winter wonderland.

This year, for the first time, Palma’s Christmas lights Event will take place at Plaça d’Espanya with a 35 minute show beginning at 19h. Organisers say the event has been redesigned to accommodate better visibility and safer crowd flow, but is likely to be very busy regardless. Families with younger children may prefer to watch the lights switch on from a smaller square elsewhere in the city.

In total, more than 3,350 lights and over 600 kilometres of decorations are going up this year, so the city will feel sparkly and festive from every angle.

🗓️ 22 November to 5 January 2026
⏰ Weekdays: 9.00–20.30, Saturdays, Sundays, bank holidays: 10.00–20.00
The city’s official nativity and always one of the most detailed. It’s large, beautifully lit and right in the old town so it’s easy to pair with the lights trail. Great for kids because it’s outdoors, quick to view and full of tiny scenes to spot.

Belén de la Misericòrdia – Centre Cultural La Misericòrdia

⏰ Daily: 10.00–21.00, 24 & 31 December: 10.00–14.00, Closed: 25 & 26 December, 1 January
One of the island’s biggest and most intricate displays. Mallorca’s historic landscapes, villages and trades are recreated with a lot of care. Families usually linger because there’s so much movement, detail and storytelling. This is the one that feels most like a full exhibition.

Exposició de Diorames Nadalencs – Centre Cultural La Misericòrdia

⏰ Daily: 10.00–21.00, 24 & 31 December: 10.00–14.00, Closed: 25 & 26 December, 1 January

Belén del Centre d’Història Militar de Palma
🗓️ 10 December to 4 January
⏰ 10.30–13.30 and 18.00–20.00

Belén Monumental de Sant Antoniet – BBVA
🗓️ 1 December to 7 January
⏰ 10.00–13.30 and 17.00–20.30, 24 & 31 December: 10.00–14.00, Closed: 25 December & 1 January

⏰ Monday–Friday: 10.00–18.00, Saturdays: 10.00–12.00 and 13.30–18.00
A traditional convent-made Belén with a very peaceful feel. The handmade figures and quiet atmosphere make it quite special, especially if you’re after something more authentic and less commercial.

Belén de la Fundació Barceló
