Port d'Alcudia has its very own events calendar alongside the well-known festivals of the old town. If you want to experience the Port d'Alcudia Festes 2026, there are two periods to know about: the Festes de Sant Pere at the harbour at the end of June, and the summer months with the night market, concerts, and dance evenings along the promenade. This article sums up what is happening in the harbour town in 2026, which dates are worth it for residents and visitors, and how to get there without stress. To understand the customs behind it all, from the procession on the water to the sardinada, see our guide to culture and traditions on Mallorca.
At a glance
The most important festival in Port d'Alcudia is the Festes de Sant Pere, running in 2026 from 20 June to 2 July with the main day on 29 June. In July, Sant Jaume follows in the old town (18 to 26 July), and the night market on the Passeig Maritim runs all summer. In April, the Fira de la Sepia draws crowds with its cuttlefish dishes.
Festes de Sant Pere: the harbour festival at the end of June
The Festes de Sant Pere are the traditional patron saint festival of the fishermen in Port d'Alcudia. Around Saint Peter's name day on 29 June, the harbour turns into a festival zone for almost two weeks, with music, sport, theatre, a sardine barbecue, and a procession on land and on the water.
In 2026 the programme ran from 20 June to 2 July, a full 13 days. The main day was Monday, 29 June. The venues are spread across the whole town: the beach, the Passeig Maritim, the Placa del Varador, the Placa de Cas Vicari, and the old harbour Moll Vell.
Typical programme highlights that return every year:
- Procession on land and water: The figure of Sant Pere is carried through the town and then taken across the bay on decorated boats. For many, the most emotional moment of the festes.
- Sardinada: Grilled sardines for everyone, usually right at the harbour. Show up, queue, eat - a street festival does not get more uncomplicated than this.
- Havaneres: Sea shanties with roots in Cuba that are part of the town's maritime identity.
- Honouring the fishermen: The town honours its active and former fishing families.
- Fireworks: The finale over the bay, with the promenade as the best vantage point.
Every year there are also concerts by well-known Mallorcan artists. In 2026 the line-up included an evening with Tomeu Penya. The town hall publishes the complete programme booklet on its website a few weeks in advance.
Closely tied to Sant Pere are the celebrations for the Mare de Deu de la Victoria on 2 July. The people of Alcudia walk up to the Ermita de la Victoria pilgrimage chapel above the bay, with a mass and a shared meal in the pine forest. If you take in both, you experience the full arc from harbour tradition to mountain pilgrimage.
When does the harbour festival in Port d'Alcudia take place? The Festes de Sant Pere are held every year at the end of June, always around 29 June. In 2026 they ran from 20 June to 2 July. The Ajuntament d'Alcudia publishes the programme with all times online in advance.
Sant Jaume: the old town's big festival in July
No sooner is Sant Pere over than the old town takes over: from 18 to 26 July 2026, Alcudia celebrates its biggest summer festival in honour of Sant Jaume, with the main day on 25 July. Concerts, parades, a children's programme, and fireworks draw many residents of the port up the two kilometres to the walled old town. You can find all the details in our article on the Festes de Sant Jaume.
For residents of the port, the combination is worth it: Sant Pere is the more intimate, maritime festival on your doorstep, Sant Jaume the big spectacle with acts from further afield. Only about two weeks separate them.
Summer night market and evenings on the Passeig Maritim
All summer long, Port d'Alcudia hosts its summer night market: Wednesday to Saturday, roughly from 6:00 pm to 10:30 pm, with crafts, jewellery, and local products along the promenade. For an evening stroll after a day at the beach, it is the most reliable option, with no fixed festival date needed.
In July and August there are also regular open-air cinema screenings, concerts, and dance evenings on the beach promenade, organised by the municipality. The dates change every year and are listed in Alcudia's official events calendar. The classic weekly markets, by the way, take place in the old town: Tuesday and Sunday mornings.
Tip: check the programme at the source
Individual dates for concerts and cinema change at short notice. Do not rely on event portals; check the official Experience Alcudia calendar or the notices at the tourist information office on the Passeig Maritim.
More dates in 2026: Fira de la Sepia and triathlon season
The harbour town has its own highlights outside high summer too:
- Fira de la Sepia (mid-April): The cuttlefish fair is the port's culinary calling card. In 2026 it took place on the weekend around 17 April. Restaurants serve sepia in every imaginable way, alongside show cooking and market stalls at the harbour.
- Triathlon and cycling spring: In May, Port d'Alcudia regularly serves as the start and finish of major triathlon events. For residents that means planning around road closures; for sports fans, a spectacle right outside the door.
- Low season: From November to March things go quiet. Many venues close and life shifts to the old town. Our article Living in Port d'Alcudia describes what the town feels like then.

Getting there, parking, and practical tips
On festival days, especially 29 June and the fireworks, the town is packed. Here is how to get there and back without stress:
- By TIB bus: Intercity buses run several times a day from Palma and the neighbouring towns to the stop on the Passeig Maritim. On festival evenings, check the return times in advance.
- By car: The car parks at the harbour and by the sports centre fill up early on the main festival days. If you are coming from nearby, park on the edge of town and walk the last few minutes.
- By bike: From Alcudia town, Platja de Muro, or Can Picafort, the cycle path along the bay leads straight to the promenade - often the fastest option on festival evenings.
Watch out: procession and closures on the main day
On 29 June, parts of the Passeig Maritim and the harbour area are closed for the procession. If you live in town, leave the car parked that evening and run your errands beforehand.

Conclusion
The Port d'Alcudia Festes 2026 show that the harbour town is more than beach tourism: Sant Pere with its procession, sardinada, and fireworks at the end of June is the centrepiece, flanked by Sant Jaume in the old town in July, the summer night market on the promenade, and the Fira de la Sepia in April. If you live in the north of the island, you have a reason to visit the harbour for more than shopping almost all year round. Check the dates with the Ajuntament in advance and allow extra time for travel and parking on the main days.
