Iris’s November tip: discover the Fira de Pollença, its craft tradition and old-town setting, with practical advice and provisional dates for 2026.
Iris’s November tip · Pollença, Mallorca
The Fira de Pollença is the town’s annual autumn fair. Its distinctive draw is the Mostra d’Artesania: a chance to make traditional craft, rather than the beach, the focus of a day in north Mallorca.
Dates to pencil in: Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 November, according to the event notice supplied to Pollensina. These dates are not yet explicitly confirmed on the municipal tourism page linked below. The fair traditionally continues on Monday as the segona fira; any activities on 16 November still need confirmation for 2026.
Where: Pollença town, inland — not the waterfront at Port de Pollença. The craft exhibition’s traditional setting is the Cloister of Sant Domingo.
Programme status — checked 16 October 2026: The municipality has not yet published visitor opening times, workshops or a final 2026 programme. Its current notice says applications for attractions and food trucks remain open until 30 October at 14:00, which indicates that details may still change. Check the municipal guide to La Fira and the Ajuntament’s 2026 participant notice before travelling; do not rely on schedules from previous editions.
Pollença’s municipal account traces the first documentary reference to 1784, while noting that the fair was already established. The Mostra d’Artesania began in 1984 at Sant Domingo and became one of the event’s defining features.
That craft focus is the reason to build a visit around the Fira. Leave time to look closely at materials and workmanship rather than treating the stalls as a quick stop between sights. The exhibitors and demonstrations for this edition should be checked against the programme, not assumed from previous years.
Plan the craft exhibition first, once its opening hours are available, then leave space for a walk through the old town and lunch. Plaça Major is a useful starting point for exploring Pollença; it is not a substitute for the event’s official venue map.
Wear comfortable shoes for the uneven paving and bring a layer and rain protection. If travelling by car, check local access and parking notices before entering the centre. Visitors using a wheelchair or pushchair should confirm step-free access to each venue rather than assume the whole route is accessible.
No. The Fira is an annual event; the Sunday market is a weekly fixture. A photograph or description of the weekly market does not establish which stalls or activities will be at the Fira. For more ideas beyond the fair, see our local guide to Pollença.
