Manacor Autumn Fair - Fira de Septembre

As summer winds down, Manacor welcomes the change of season with its much-loved Fira de Setembre, one of the island's most authentic autumn markets. Traditionally held around the third weekend of September, the fair transforms Avinguda dels Pins de sa Torre into a lively showcase of Mallorcan craftsmanship, local produce and community spirit. 

Expect stalls piled high with artisan goods and Balearic products, an exhibition and sale of organic-certified produce, and giants ("gegants") dancing through the crowds throughout the day courtesy of the Colla Gegantera de Manacor. Evenings bring a more festive edge, with past editions featuring swing music, craft beer tastings and a "Nit de Tapes del Món" pairing local restaurants with international flavours. 

Children's entertainment, vintage car and motorcycle displays, and a bustling atmosphere of locals and visitors make this a fitting send-off to summer in one of Mallorca's most historic towns, best known as the birthplace of Rafael Nadal and home to the island's famous Majorica pearl industry.
