Each autumn, the medieval streets of Alcúdia burst into life as the Fira d’Alcúdia returns. Now in its 38th year, the 2026 edition will take place from 2 to 4 October, transforming this historic Mallorcan town into a colourful showcase of culture, food, music, and history.

Algaida’s autumn fair is one of Mallorca’s classic inland ferias, a tradition that brings the community together to celebrate agriculture, crafts, gastronomy, and local culture. In recent years, the event has expanded into a lively mix of artisan stalls, produce tastings, exhibitions ranging from farm animals to vintage vehicles, and a full program of concerts and family-friendly activities. It’s as much a social gathering as it is a showcase of Mallorcan traditions.

The 480th edition of the fairs will run from late September through mid-October, with Es Firó falling on Monday, 19 October 2026. The autumn fairs date back to 1543, when Charles V granted Llucmajor royal rights to hold markets from September 29 (Sant Miquel) until the Sunday before October 18 (Sant Lluc). Originally focused on livestock and agriculture, the fairs grew into a broader showcase of local industry, crafts, food, and culture. The cycle ends with the “Es Firó,” a traditional local holiday celebrated on the Monday after the last Sunday fair.

Cala Ratjada’s Mostra de Sa Llampuga, the island’s beloved ‘mahi-mahi’ fair, grew out of the autumn llampuga season that peaks off Mallorca’s east coast. By 2004, the fair was already in its third edition, placing the inaugural event in 2002. It quickly became one of the island’s most important culinary gatherings, celebrating the seasonal fish harvest each October. After a pause during the pandemic years, it returned strong and continues to attract thousands of visitors every year.

The Fira Dolça (“Sweet Fair”) is an annual celebration in Esporles, dedicated to Mallorcan pastries, confectionery, and artisanal treats. Each year, the town’s main streets fill with stalls overflowing with ensaïmades, bunyols, rubiols, crespells, cocas, chocolates, jams, honeys, and liqueurs. It’s a family-friendly event that combines gastronomy with music, folk dancing, and children’s activities, making it one of Mallorca’s most popular autumn fairs.

The Fira d’Octubre is one of Mallorca’s best-known autumn fairs, deeply rooted in local life. Originally a purely agricultural gathering where residents stocked up on supplies for the winter matances (pig slaughter and sausage-making season), it has evolved into a showcase of gastronomy, culture, and crafts. By tradition, the main Fira takes place on the third Thursday of October, followed by the Firó on Friday. Since 2008, a dedicated sobrassada zone has been a highlight, celebrating this iconic Mallorcan sausage.
