One of the main companies participating in the Feixina Christmas Market is Barca Samba SL, owned by German national Bernhard Gewessler. This company specializes in nautical charters, organizing excursions and all kinds of private events, from parties to weddings and even funerals. However, according to the municipal registry, its activity at the Christmas market has little connection to the maritime sector. The stalls it operates under this brand offer wine and hot chocolate, baskets of Mallorcan products, and a wide variety of Christmas items and services that have nothing to do with the sea.

The Feixina Christmas Market has a distinctly Central European flavor. According to the list of stalls submitted by the organizers to the Palma City Council, which ARA Baleares has obtained, 45 of the 61 stalls are registered to just two businessmen from Germany and Austria. Months before the event, these two men formed a limited company to manage markets. Gerald Kendlbacher, who has gained media attention as a collaborator in organizing the market, controls 29 stalls. This past February, he founded the company dedicated to organizing "events, fairs, concerts, and markets," according to the commercial registry.

The Santa Catalina and Jonquet Civic Neighborhood Association, which opposes the Feixina Christmas Market, stated after a meeting with two city councilors that the Christmas market "will take place without background music." In a statement released this Thursday, the association asserted that they used the meeting to convey to the city government their "concern about the economic impact this event will have on taxpayers, as it involves handing over a public park to a private company for two months." They also criticized the "lack of transparency," the environmental and sustainability effects, and the deprivation of the use of "one of the few green spaces" in the area, among other issues. In this context, the association detailed that Cort committed to "minimizing the negative effects that an event of this nature implies for a residential neighborhood," that it would take place "without background music," that the attractions would also be free of music, and that it would only be authorized on Fridays and Saturdays from 7:30 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. They also assured that the municipal government would study their proposals to lessen the effects on traffic and parking in the area.
