Dates for Mallorca's fiestas & fairs 2013
Featuring All of Mallorca's Arts, Crafts & Agricultural Festivals for this Year
Dates for the local council-run fairs and fiestas in Mallorca for 2013 have just been released. We have listed the highlights here, but for a full round up, please take a look at our Events Calendar.
Please note, despite the date confirmation of these events, it is still possible that fiestas will be cancelled, postponed, have a date-change - and all at last minute! These decisions tend to be council-related, and they may decide they haven't enough money to run the events this year. Also note that the programmes for these fairs tend not to be released until the week of the event. We will add all the information we can to our Events Calendar when it becomes available.
