Dates for Mallorca Festivals, Fiestas & Fairs 2015 Released
Make sure you don't miss on What's On in Mallorca this year!
Mallorca holds many traditional fairs each year, most of which are religious, historical or agricultural in nature. These annual events show a different side to Mallorca and are well worth visiting as part of your holiday plans. We have listed the highlights here, but for a full round up, please take a look at our Events Calendar.
Not all dates for some major events have been confirmed, for example, the Soller Fira & Firo in May, many local village fairs and night markets during the summer, Inca's Dijous Bo and the Mushroom Fair in Mancor de la Vall in November. No doubt these events will run, we just have not got confirmed dates yet.
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 as and when it becomes available.
