More Autumn Fairs in Mallorca

Discover the more authentic and traditional side of Mallorcan life at one of this autumn’s fairs.

This coming weekend, the 14^th and 15^th, Es Capdellà hosts the 10^th edition of its ‘Feria de los Trabajos de Otoño’ – one for those who appreciate countryside life. This fair features animals, artisan products, an exhibition of classic cars, and much more.  On Saturday night, there’s a dance in the Plaça de Sa Vinya, with music from Aires des Pla de Marratxi. And on Sunday, you can meet some of the dogs from the local refuge that are awaiting adoption, from 11:00h until 13:00h, in C/ Iglesia.

At the other end of Mallorca, the town of Muro celebrates the humble pumpkin at the 20^th ‘Feria de la Calabaza’. The fair’s programme began on the 7^th, but the main events take place at the weekend. On Friday evening, there’s the ‘Mostra de Vino’ in the Convent Cloister, with wines from bodegas including Son Ramon, Bordoy, Jaume de Puntiró, and Can Majoral. Wine, food, and artisan goods are all part of the fair, and expect to see some giant specimens at Sunday’s pumpkin competition.

If you’re on the island next week, Mallorca’s largest and most famous autumn fair takes place in Inca. Dijous Bo, as its name suggests, happens on Thursday, 19^th, ending a few weeks of fairs in the town.
