IV Catalan Manga and Anime Festival 2026 in Palma

Welcome to a unique celebration of Japanese culture in the heart of Mallorca. The IV Festival de Manga i Anime en Català (FeMA) is back for 2026, transforming Palma's Pati de la Misericòrdia into a vibrant hub for otaku, cosplayers, and creative minds. This festival isn't just about entertainment; it's a community-driven event that bridges the gap between the Catalan language and the global phenomenon of anime and manga.

You can expect a packed schedule from morning until evening. If you're into hands-on creativity, the various workshops running throughout the day will offer plenty of opportunities to learn new skills. For many, the highlight of the day is the Special Cosplay Catwalk Competition at 17:00. This specific category focuses on anime dubbed in Catalan, celebrating the local heritage alongside modern pop culture. If you want to participate in the catwalk, remember that you need to register in person before 16:45 on the day of the event to secure your spot.

The Pati de la Misericòrdia provides a stunning, historic backdrop for this modern festival. Whether you are a hardcore collector, an aspiring artist, or just curious about the world of Japanese animation, the atmosphere is inclusive and welcoming. You'll find yourself surrounded by fellow fans sharing their passion for storytelling and character design in one of the city's most beautiful courtyards.

The festival takes place on Saturday, 28 March 2026. Since this is a popular event across the Balearic Islands, arriving early at the Via Roma location is recommended to make the most of the morning workshops and browse the various stalls. Don't miss this chance to immerse yourself in a day of creativity and fandom right in the center of Palma. Whether you're competing in the cosplay catwalk or just soaking up the atmosphere, it's an event you won't want to miss. See you there!
