Public holidays in the Balearic Islands for 2025: Consult the calendar

The Mesa Social Tripartita, a body made up of the government, employers and trade unions, has announced the calendar of public holidays in the Balearic Islands for the year 2025. In accordance with state and regional regulations, next year there will be a total of 12 public holidays.

The Mesa has agreed to maintain the Second Christmas Day (26 December) as a traditional public holiday in the Balearic Islands. This day will replace 12 October, which this year falls on a Sunday, while Easter Monday (21 April) will remain in the hands of each municipality, which will be able to decide whether to declare it a public holiday.

Public holidays in Palma

After repeated complaints from citizens after declaring the day of Sant Sebastià, patron saint of Palma, a working day in 2024, the deputy mayor for Culture of Palma City Council, Javier Bonet, announced last January: ‘The patron saint of Palma must always be a public holiday, whether it is Saturday, Sunday or Monday. That is clear to all of us (…) it should be the plenary that makes this decision’. It will foreseeably be a commission involving social agents, employers, trade unions and residents’ associations that will decide the calendar of public holidays in Palma in 2025.
