Every 16 July, Mallorca’s fishing communities honour the Virgin of Carmen patron saint of sailors with one of the island’s most visually stunning traditions. Dozens of boats adorned with flowers, flags and banners set sail in convoy from harbours across the island, carrying a statue of the Virgin out to sea. Flowers are cast onto the water in memory of those lost at sea. Then the celebrations begin.
Best locations: Port de Pollenca (large flotilla, sea blessing, fireworks), Port de Soller (electricity cut around the bay, boats lit by flares. extraordinary), Cala Figuera (intimate and deeply authentic), Port Andratx (multi-day programme with live music and fireworks). Mass at around 8pm, procession follows. Free everywhere.

La Patrona — Moors and Christians Battle, Pollenca
2030-08-04 | Ayuntamiento de Pollenca, Carrer del Calvari, 2, 07460 Pollença, Illes Balears, Pollenca, Islas Baleares, 07460, Spain
One of the most extraordinary free events in the Mediterranean and it happens right here in Mallorca. Every 2 August, the entire town of Pollenca spills into the streets to re-enact the night of 30 May 1550, when local hero Joan Mas woke the town and led 300 brave Pollensins to defeat 1,500 Ottoman pirates led by the feared corsair Dragut.
The week builds with concerts, exhibitions, markets, cannon fire, fireworks and late-night parties. On the day itself, the whole town dresses up, Christians in white pyjamas, Moors in colourful pirate attire and the mock battle tears through the narrow streets. Wooden swords, face paint, fireworks and several thousand people pressed into cobblestone streets cheering. It ends with the victorious Christians singing the town anthem at the parish church. Epic in every sense.

Festes de Sant Agusti,Felanitx
2030-08-28 | Ajuntament de Felanitx, Plaça de la Constitució, 1, Palma De Mallorca, Islas Baleares, 07200, Spain
The end of August belongs to Felanitx. The Festes de Sant Agusti is one of Mallorca’s best correfocs, the island’s iconic fire run where hundreds of people dressed as demons tear through the streets with fireworks and crackers in a wall of noise, fire and total chaos. The kind of thing you watch the first time with your jaw open and run straight into the second time.
The night ends with a verbena, the traditional Mallorcan open-air dance party that goes until dawn. The whole town is out. Free to attend, impossible to forget.
