New Year's Eve in Cort: schedules and performances to welcome in 2026

PalmPalma City Council will continue the tradition of offering a New Year's Eve party full of music, dancing and joy for the whole family on December 31st.

The celebration will once again take place in the Plaza de Cort, following the positive reception the event received from the public last year.

The evening's entertainment will be provided by DJ Juan Campos, with a musical repertoire ranging from the 70s to the most recent hits, starting at 11:30 p.m.

After the traditional chimes on the Cort clock, the music will continue until 1:40 a.m. and will allow attendees to continue celebrating the arrival of the new year.

Meanwhile, in Plaza de la Reina, IB3 TV will broadcast the New Year's Eve chimes on a giant screen, and there will also be music until 2:30 a.m., provided by DJ Estevie.

Fine-tuning in Figuera

Furthermore, sources from the City Council have reported that the Cort clockmaker, Biel Julià, carried out the fine-tuning of the Palma City Hall clock this Tuesday, leaving the emblematic mechanism ready for the traditional New Year's Eve countdown.

Among the tasks carried out, Julià has proceeded to lubricate the machinery, clean impurities, adjust the pendulum's oscillations and check that the clock tells the time with absolute precision.

To mark the celebration of December 31st, the review is carried out in a particularly thorough way to ensure that En Figuera correctly completes all its cycles.

Centenary clock

The Cort clock was built in 1863 and, more than a century later, in 1964, underwent its first restoration, which included electrification. At that time, three motors were installed, allowing the clock in Figuera to wind automatically twice a day, at 10:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.

The second restoration was carried out approximately five years ago and included the incorporation of new parts to improve its functioning and conservation.

With this intervention, Biel Julià once again guarantees the correct functioning of the Cort clock in view of one of the most anticipated events of the year, a task that the clockmaker also performs periodically throughout the rest of the 365 days, thus ensuring the accuracy of the clock.
