Night Market in Sineu: Three Fridays of Craft, Food and Community

Sineu Turns the Night into a Market

\n

The small island town in the middle of Mallorca has a plan: On the next three Fridays — September 5, 12 and 19, 2025 — starting at 8:00 PM the Plaza and the surrounding streets become a night market. Here, it isn’t two or three stalls, but more than a hundred booths offering everything the island craftspeople and producers have to offer.

\n\n

What to Expect

\n

Ceramics, hand-knit scarves, olive oils in small bottles, honey from the Serra and cheese from the island — the usual good stuff. Plus plenty of street food: tapas, fresh seafood, grilled chorizo and, yes, sobrasada in all varieties. If you don’t come for dinner first, you’ll find something here. Beverages are available at several stalls, from house wine to fresh lemonade.

\n\n

Music and Atmosphere: Small stages and street musicians create ambience. You’ll often hear jazz, singer-songwriters or traditional Mallorcan sounds — more handmade than loud. Families with children, couples and neighbors mingle; after 10 PM the mood loosens.

Practical Tips

\n

The market runs until midnight. Parking in Sineu is limited, especially near Plaza de la Vila — better to come by bike or bus, or to find a parking space on Sa Pobla Street in time. Cash is practical; many stalls take card payments, but not all. A light sweater is usually enough to ward off the evening chill.

\n\n

For photos: The church and the clock tower form a pretty backdrop, especially when the lights come on. Dogs on a leash are usually welcome, but try to avoid crowds if your four-legged friend isn’t fond of bustle.

\n\n

Why Attend?

\n

Because Sineu in the evening suddenly feels very different. The narrow streets, the cobblestones, the vendors who were still setting up the day before — that’s real island life, not just a tourist program. And because it’s enjoyable to meet local producers and take home a piece of handmade pottery or a jar of honey.

\n\n

So: grab a calendar, invite friends, and if possible stroll through the streets on foot. Admission is free. Much better than any standard after-work bar — and more honest besides.
