Festival Park Christmas Market, Mallorca – Family Fun & Shopping
Christmas Market at Mallorca Fashion Outlet: Plan Your Visit
Festival Park (also known as Mallorca Fashion Outlet) turns into a festive village each December, with illuminated streets, family activities, food stalls and late-opening outlet shopping. It’s easy to reach from Palma, very stroller-friendly, and a reliable pick for kids who want lights, treats and a mini “winter wonderland” feel without leaving the city orbit.
🎄 What to Expect
- Seasonal window: Typically late November to early January (exact dates vary each year).
- Vibe: Outdoor market stalls + outlet shops, light shows, family activities, photo ops, and weekend music.
- Audience: Families, groups, and anyone combining Christmas browsing with bargain shopping.
- Good to know: Weeknights are calmer than Fridays/weekends; arrive early for parking and easier stroller time.
🧭 Getting There & Basics
- From Palma: 10–15 min by car via Ma-13; Marratxí train (Es Caülls/Mallorca Fashion Outlet stop) and buses serve the centre.
- Parking: Large free outdoor car parks; fill quickly on peak evenings—aim before 18:30 in Dec.
- Accessibility: Flat promenades, wide paths, good for strollers and wheelchairs; family restrooms on site.
- Opening rhythm: Shops keep outlet hours; market/activities concentrate late afternoon to evening.
- Weather plan: Evenings can be chilly—bring layers for kids and a light blanket for strollers.
