XXXVIII Fira-Espectacle Ses Salines 2026
26 April – 03 May 2026
Ses Salines, a charming town on the island of Mallorca, celebrates its 101st anniversary as an independent municipality in 2026. However, its story began long before, in the hands of generations of farmers, fishermen, and artisans who shaped the land and its people. The Fira-Espectacle is more than a fair—it’s a vivid celebration of community, culture, and continuity. This year’s event carries even deeper meaning, serving as a tribute to a century of resilience and a celebration of Ses Salines’ unique identity through performances, artisan showcases, exhibitions, music, and more.
