Mallorca Christmas fair invites families to shop, dance and support children with cancer

A festive day of Christmas shopping, live music and family entertainment is coming to Mallorca, with a waterfront charity fair hoping to raise vital funds for children affected by cancer across the Balearic Islands.

The Christmas fair will take place at the Port of Cala Nova on Saturday, November 14, from 11am until 4pm, bringing the local community together for an afternoon of festive fun in support of a particularly important cause.

With Christmas now approaching, organisers are encouraging residents and visitors to come along, browse the stalls and enjoy the entertainment while helping make a difference to families facing difficult circumstances.

Handmade gifts and festive entertainment

Visitors can expect a variety of stalls packed with handmade items, crafts and home-baked goodies, providing an opportunity to find something a little different for Christmas presents.

The programme will also include live music and dancing, with performances from the Baleares Children’s Choir among the entertainment planned for the afternoon.

There will be plenty of opportunities to get involved, including a tombola and raffle, while food will also be available thanks to a special spin-off from the Acocado Restaurant. This means visitors can make an afternoon of it and stop for lunch while enjoying the festivities overlooking the sea.

Raising money for children with cancer

Behind the Christmas celebrations is a fundraising effort for ASPANOB, an organisation supporting children with cancer and their families in the Balearic Islands.

The charity provides support to families navigating the challenges of childhood cancer, making community fundraising events such as this an important way to help its work.

Organisers are hoping for strong local support, with every purchase, donation and raffle ticket helping contribute towards the cause.

Christmas presents and donations welcome

As well as encouraging people to attend, organisers are appealing for donations to help bring some extra Christmas magic to children who may otherwise miss out.

Anyone wishing to contribute a new present is invited to bring it along, with the child’s name and age clearly written on the wrapping. Gifts will be placed beneath the Christmas tree at the port.

Donations of home-baked cakes, bottles for the tombola and prizes for the raffle are also being welcomed.

Whether visitors come to pick up Christmas gifts, enjoy the choir, grab some lunch or simply support a worthwhile cause, the message from organisers is simple: everyone is welcome.

The Christmas Fayre takes place at Port of Cala Nova on Saturday, November 14, between 11am and 4pm. All proceeds will support ASPANOB and its work with children affected by cancer across the Balearic Islands.
