The Palma Patron Saint Festivities 2026 are beginning to take shape. Palma City Council has already confirmed one of this year’s major events: a large-scale concert to be held on Saturday, 5th September, with a budget of €242,000 and the aim of once again attracting thousands of people.
The Palma Patron Saint Festivities 2026, dedicated to the Virgin of Health, now have their first major date confirmed. While the full programme has yet to be announced, Palma City Council has revealed plans for a major concert on Saturday, 5th September.
Palma City Council’s Governing Board has awarded Grup Trui Mallorca SL the contract to organise the event for €242,000.
The City Council aims to continue strengthening festivities that attracted large crowds last year and are seeking to become an increasingly important part of Palma’s cultural and festive calendar.
When are the Palma Patron Saint Festivities 2026?
The feast day of the Virgin of Health, patron saint of Palma, is celebrated on 8th September, although the festivities also include activities in the days leading up to the date.
The first confirmed date for 2026 is Saturday, 5th September, when the large-scale concert announced by the City Council will take place.
The full programme has not yet been presented, meaning that many of the activities surrounding Palma’s patron saint celebrations are still to be announced.
A major concert for Palma’s patron saint on 5th September
The concert will be one of the main highlights of this year’s festivities.
According to the City Council, it will feature high-quality artists, offer an accessible programme aimed at all audiences and be designed to attract thousands of people.
The municipal announcement does not yet specify which artists will perform, the concert time or the venue.
The organisation of the event has been awarded to Grup Trui Mallorca SL for €242,000.
The precedent set by the 2025 festivities
The City Council is taking last year’s strong attendance as a reference for the new edition.
The 2025 Palma Patron Saint Festivities attracted thousands of people to Parc de la Mar, a turnout the City Council hopes to repeat this year with a programme combining tradition, culture and large-scale musical events.
The municipal aim is to give greater prominence to the celebrations of the Virgin of Health and consolidate them as one of the major events on Palma’s festive calendar.
