AT THE HEART OF ISLAND LIFE

Fira d’Alcúdia 2026 | Alcudia Fair 2026
2 - 4 October
29 September 2026 at 16:32:23
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.
Held every first weekend of October, the Fira d’Alcúdia is a beloved tradition that brings locals and visitors together. What began as an agricultural fair has evolved into a three-day event blending artisan markets, gastronomy, art, music, and re-enactments that honor Alcúdia’s Roman and medieval roots. The festival is not just a market, it is a gathering that highlights the heart and soul of the town.
This year’s official poster features Alcúdia’s famous giants, a nod to the folkloric figures that parade through the streets during the opening celebrations, symbolising the spirit of community and continuity of tradition.

Tips for Visitors
Arrive early to catch the parades and secure a good spot for The Night of the Horse - Equestrian Show.
Wear comfortable shoes — the old town is pedestrian-only, with charming but uneven cobblestones.
Bring cash — while some vendors take cards, smaller stalls may not.
Stay nearby if possible, as events run late into the evening and the atmosphere is magical after dark.
Check the program closer to the date for exact times and locations of activities.
