Cultural activities in Palma in September 2024
In September, Palma offers a vibrant cultural scene that is especially interesting for culture lovers. With the end of summer, the city returns to its usual rhythm and presents a varied offer of activities for locals and visitors alike.
Music and theatre festivals
The annual Jazz Voyeur Festival, which is held in Palma, usually starts at the end of September. In 2024, it is expected to attract renowned international artists and local talent. The concerts are spread across different venues in the city, from intimate halls to open-air stages, offering a diverse, high-quality musical experience.
Palma's Teatre Principal usually kicks off its season in September with a programme that includes theatre, dance and opera. For 2024, a selection of works is expected to combine local productions with internationally renowned guest companies.
The Teatro del Mar, known for its focus on more experimental and contemporary proposals, also usually presents its autumn programme during this month, offering an interesting alternative for lovers of the more avant-garde performing arts.
Enjoying the best cinema.
The Evolution Mallorca International Film Festival, although usually held in October, will have some preliminary events or special screenings in September. This festival has become an important film event that attracts filmmakers and fans from all over the world.
In addition, the city's cinemas usually programme independent or auteur film seasons to coincide with the beginning of autumn, offering an alternative to the more commercial productions of the summer.
September festivities in Palma
Although Palma's main festivals are held in January (Sant Sebastià) and June (Sant Joan), smaller celebrations take place in some neighbourhoods in September, offering an opportunity to experience local traditions.
We advise you to ask us about the most interesting festivals this month, as we will be keeping an eye out for any events or cultural initiatives that are not yet scheduled. Palma's cultural scene is dynamic and constantly evolving, so it is always advisable to consult the updated cultural agenda as the date approaches.
One of the events that attracts a large number of people is the Setmana del Llibre en Català (Catalan Book Week), which celebrates literature in the Catalan language and usually takes place in the first fortnight of September. This event includes book presentations, talks with authors and activities to promote reading.
The city's bookshops and libraries usually organise reading clubs and meetings with authors that begin their cycles in September, taking advantage of the return to routine after the holidays.
In the open air, enjoying Palma in September 2024
The European Heritage Days, which are usually held in September, will offer guided tours of historic buildings normally closed to the public, as well as special activities in the city's museums and monuments.
Taking advantage of the pleasant September weather, we recommend strolling through open spaces such as the Parc de la Mar, located in front of the Cathedral, or in the historic squares of the old town. In these places there is usually live music and street markets for all tastes.
The combination of these events and activities makes Palma an attractive cultural destination in September 2024. The city offers a unique blend of tradition and innovation, with options for all tastes and ages, allowing visitors and residents alike to immerse themselves in the rich cultural life of the Balearic capital.
