These festivities form part of the identity of Port de Pollença. They also keep alive the town’s close bond with the sea. In addition, every summer they bring together residents and visitors around a programme that combines tradition and leisure. The processó marinera (maritime procession), the correfoc (fire parade) and the fireworks will once again bring the celebration to a close.
The Festes de la Mare de Déu del Carme 2026 in Port de Pollença involve the participation of associations, clubs and local organisations. The programme will also include cultural, sporting and charitable activities in different areas of the Moll. As a result, the festivities will once again become one of the major summer events in the municipality.
