The Teatro Principal in Palma hosted another edition of the Night of Culture this past weekend, the most emblematic annual event of the Balearic Cultural Association (OCB), culminating in the presentation of the December 31, 2025 Awards. The gala filled the main auditorium and brought together representatives from the cultural world and social organizations.
