Fira Nocturna 2025 | Night Fair 2025, Ariany
26 July 2025
By Claire Miller
Tucked into the serene Pla de Mallorca, the village of Ariany is a quiet gem known for its charming streets, panoramic countryside views, and a warm sense of community. But on one special summer night each year, this sleepy village lights up in a celebration of culture, gastronomy, and Mallorcan tradition: the Fira Nocturna d’Ariany.
Set to return on Saturday, 26th July 2025, the Fira Nocturna promises an unforgettable evening under the stars—one where heritage meets modern festivity, and locals and visitors alike share in the magic of this beloved nighttime fair.
The Fira Nocturna was first established to highlight Ariany’s agricultural roots and artisanal products, with an emphasis on celebrating local life. Over the years, it has grown into a vibrant community fair known not only for its produce and crafts but also for its festive atmosphere, live performances, and culinary delights. Previous editions have featured traditional music, children’s activities, and a bustling artisan market, reflecting the fair’s wide appeal and family-friendly spirit.
What to Expect in 2025
Building on past years, the 2025 edition of the Fira Nocturna will once again transform the village's streets and plaza into a lively marketplace and entertainment zone. Here’s what visitors can look forward to:
Artisan & Agricultural Market: Local farmers, craftspeople, and vendors will offer fresh produce, handmade goods, natural products, and traditional Mallorcan delicacies. Expect honey, oils, herbs, woven baskets, and more.
Culinary Highlights: The “tast gastronòmic” or gastronomic tasting stalls—always a hit—will serve tapas, local wines, sobrassada, ensaïmades, and other Mallorcan favourites. Food trucks and village bars will extend their hours and offerings.
Live Music & Dance: Stages will feature folk music, regional dance performances (including “ball de bot”), and modern acts.
Children’s Corner: A highlight for families, this area typically includes games, workshops, and puppet shows—ideal for keeping the little ones entertained while adults enjoy the fair.
Sustainable & Local Focus: Like past editions, the fair will place a strong emphasis on sustainable living and support for local producers, aligning with broader ecological values increasingly important in Mallorca.
How to Join the Celebration
The Fira Nocturna begins as the sun sets, usually around 7:00 PM, and continues well into the night. Entry is free, and parking is available on the outskirts of the village. It’s recommended to arrive early to explore Ariany’s quaint charm by daylight before the festivities begin.
Public transport options are limited, so renting a car or organising shared transport is ideal for those staying in Palma or nearby towns.
Whether you're a returning guest or a curious traveller, the Fira Nocturna d’Ariany offers a true taste of Mallorca’s cultural soul. The warmth of the locals, the richness of the cuisine, and the joyful celebration beneath the stars make this more than just a fair—it’s a Mallorcan summer night you’ll never forget.
