The traditional event that <strong>marks the start of the city&#8217;s Christmas programme<\/strong> will take place on <strong>Saturday 21 November<\/strong> at <strong>Parc de la Mar<\/strong>, after being held in Pla\u00e7a d&#8217;Espanya for the first time last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-start=\"379\" data-end=\"717\">The change of venue follows the <strong data-start=\"416\" data-end=\"467\">large turnout recorded in 2025<\/strong>. The <strong>Ajuntament<\/strong> has chosen Parc de la Mar for its <strong>greater capacity<\/strong> and to provide better conditions for the celebrations, with the <strong>Cathedral as a backdrop<\/strong>. The city council explained that the move aims to &#8220;<strong>strengthen Palma&#8217;s connection with the sea<\/strong>&#8221; and improve the experience for those attending.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"719\" data-end=\"989\">Christmas 2026 will also bring other new attractions to Palma. Festive lighting will extend to <strong data-start=\"802\" data-end=\"839\">more streets and neighbourhoods across the city<\/strong>, while the <strong>Parc de Nadal<\/strong>, also located at Parc de la Mar from <strong>21 November to 6 January<\/strong>, will feature <strong>60 stalls<\/strong>, a <strong>real ice rink<\/strong>, <strong>food<\/strong>, <strong>crafts<\/strong> and <strong>family activities<\/strong> over <strong>46 days<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Date and location of Palma&#8217;s Christmas lights switch-on 2026<\/h2>\n<p>For now, the Ajuntament has confirmed the two main details of one of Palma&#8217;s most eagerly awaited Christmas events:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Date:<\/strong> Saturday 21 November 2026.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Location:<\/strong> Parc de la Mar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-start=\"1202\" data-end=\"1327\">The starting time has yet to be announced. The performers taking part and the exact details of the show have also not been confirmed.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1329\" data-end=\"1624\">The Ajuntament de Palma has awarded the contract to organise the show to DEEJAYSGRUP SL for \u20ac373,769, including VAT. The contract covers the production of a large-scale performance combining different artistic disciplines and elements.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1626\" data-end=\"1790\">The show will conclude with the traditional countdown and the switching on of the Christmas lights, officially welcoming the festive season to Palma.<\/p>\n<h2>From the huge turnout in 2025 to Parc de la Mar<\/h2>\n<p>The change of venue follows the 2025 switch-on ceremony in <strong>Pla\u00e7a d&#8217;Espanya<\/strong>, which hosted the event for the first time. The celebration attracted <strong>thousands of people<\/strong>, making the square in central Palma one of the main gathering points of the day.<\/p>\n<p>The large turnout meant that the venue became <strong>extremely crowded<\/strong> during the show. The move to Parc de la Mar now provides a larger setting for a celebration that has become one of the <strong>major public events<\/strong> marking the start of Christmas in the city.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-section-id=\"jsz8sq\" data-start=\"3562\" data-end=\"3614\">Christmas lights to reach more streets and neighbourhoods<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3616\" data-end=\"3889\">In addition, <strong>Christmas decorations<\/strong> will continue to spread across Palma this year. The Ajuntament has announced that <strong data-start=\"3715\" data-end=\"3760\">festive lighting will reach more streets and neighbourhoods<\/strong>, although it has not yet specified which new areas will be included or provided figures for the 2026 lighting scheme.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3891\" data-end=\"4080\">The expansion aims to bring the Christmas atmosphere <strong>beyond the main streets of the city centre<\/strong> and increase the number of areas decorated for the festive season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The eagerly awaited Palma Christmas lights switch-on 2026 is moving <a href=\"https:\/\/mallorcaglobalmag.es\/en\/encendido-luces-navidad-2026-palma-parc-mar\/\"> [&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":111526,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1514],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-159231","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
