La Nit del Born is a 3-day festive weekend to look forward to with a grand Christmas
theme, uniting the whole of Palma.
The Paseo del Born, Calle Unión, Jaime III and the
Plaza Mercat will be converted into an exciting and festive pedestrian
zone. All the shops will roll out their red carpets and the surrounding
restaurants, bars and cafés will present their culinary Christmas treats joining
in the 3-day festival to kick start the Christmas season. The Mayor of Palma,
Mateo Isern, will be turning on the Christmas lights of the city at dusk on
Thursday, November 29th, marking the opening of the
celebrations.
On both Friday, November 30th, and Saturday,
December 1st, Santa Clauses, bell in hand, will walk the streets and
also distribute sweets and maps on bicycles. On Friday evening at 18.00 hrs
there will be a Christmas charity concert in the Paseo del Born. On Saturday,
December 1st, at 12.00 and 18.00 hrs the voices of carol singers will light up
the streets of Palma. There will also be a moving band during the whole weekend
playing both Christmas and urban music in the centre of Palma.
One of the highlights of this special event will be the Christmas
forest built in style of the Northern European forests with real pine
trees in the patio of Casal Solleric. This forest will also be the meeting point
of the alpine-themed photocall. The centre point will be a huge Christmas tree
that will be decorated by a Majorcan artist. The event also expects the
attendance of famous guests whose names are still a well kept secret.
