Mallorca is home to an impressive variety of fairs throughout the year. These fairs offer the perfect opportunity for locals and tourists to experience the island’s authentic culture. 

Almost every village on the island, no matter how small, hosts a fair of some kind. Many are food and beverage themed, from the Cheese and Wine Fair to the Beer Fair, the Potato Fair and the Melon Fair.

Some only last an evening, others almost a week, but they are brimming with artisan stalls, culinary displays and food stands, traditional dancing, fun runs and traditional fun fair rides. The local fair is a significant yearly event for the village inhabitants who transform the quaint narrow streets and town square overnight into a place of celebration, filled with streamers, music and laughter.

The year’s first fair is the “Fira del Ram”, held at Palma in February. This fair has been held annually since the 19th century and is a popular family event.
