Events in August in Mallorca

July 27, 2026

August in Mallorca is arriving in full peacock mode! The month opens with the Copa del Rey MAPFRE in Palma, rolls into open-air cinema, keeps the culture crowd happy with Pollença Festival and Nits a Bellver, and then, just in case everyone was getting too comfortable, throws in a total solar eclipse on 12 August!

44th Copa del Rey MAPFRE

Date: Sat 1 Aug to Sat 8 Aug 2026
Area/location: Palma
Venue: Real Club Náutico de Palma and the Bay of Palma
What it is: One of the island’s biggest August set-pieces, with a serious international sailing fleet and Palma doing that thing where it looks unreasonably handsome from every angle. Strong option for readers who like sport, harbour atmosphere and watching other people steer very expensive things with conviction.

Cinema a la Fresca Palma 2026

Nits a Bellver 2026, August highlights

Date: Festival runs until Sat 29 Aug 2026
Time: The August jazz dates surfaced at 9:00 PM in the listings I checked
Area/location: Palma
Venue: Castell de Bellver
What it is: Summer concerts inside Bellver Castle, which is already doing half the work before anyone plays a note. August leans into the Palma Jazz Festival strand, plus dance and a Mahler-closing flourish, so this is a strong pick for readers who like culture with a dramatic setting.
More info: Visit Palma event page and The Calendar Mallorca listing
August highlights:
- 6 Aug: Harlem Gospel Travellers
- 11 Aug: 3rd Gala de Dansa de Ballarins Mallorquins
- 13 Aug: Pep Garau Sextet
- 20 Aug: El Combo Batanga
- 27 Aug: Maria Antònia Gili Quartet
- 29 Aug: Mahler closing concert

1 Piano & 200 Candles

Date: Sun 16 Aug 2026
Time: 10:00 PM
Area/location: Sineu
Venue: Finca Ca’s Pianista
What it is: David Gómez performing under a centuries-old tree with suspended candles and a fairly unfair amount of atmosphere. This is one of August’s lovelier one-night options if the brief is romance, stillness and a break from the standard loud-summer template.
More info / booking: Arts Mallorca listing
Price: From €30

PHOF Mallorca PhotoFest 2026

Date: Sat 25 Apr to Sun 30 Aug 2026
Time: Varies by exhibition, venue and activity
Area/location: Palma and other Mallorca municipalities
