Tradition holds that you jump over the bonfires for purification and good luck. It is a unique experience that blends tradition, fire and the shortest night of the year.
Sepia Fair (April)
Every spring, Alcudia celebrates its fishing tradition with the Feria de la Sepia. This gastronomic festival brings together the municipality's restaurants around a star ingredient: fresh cuttlefish from Alcudia Bay. Tastings, special menus and cultural activities make this fair an essential date for food lovers.
CIRCAIRE: International Circus Festival (May)
CIRCAIRE is the international contemporary circus festival held in Alcudia's old town during May. Circus companies from across Europe perform in the town's squares and streets, offering free shows featuring acrobatics, juggling, physical theatre and aerial arts. It is a family-friendly event that transforms the historic centre into an open-air stage.
