Fira de Fires in Ondara 2026
Expected 2026 dates: the weekends of 7-8 and 14-15 November, with the funfair running until Sunday 22. This is a forecast based on the pattern of recent years: as of 10 October neither the dates nor the programme have been announced (in 2025 the programme was presented between 21 and 23 October). Check the official programme from Ondara Town Council before you go.
The essentials
Ondara’s Fira de Fires (“fair of fairs”) has been held without interruption since 1690.
It is often advertised as if it lasted all November, but it doesn’t: the main events are concentrated on two consecutive weekends in mid-November, and the funfair stays for one more week.
The fullest weekend is the second one: the medieval market sets up between El Prado and the bullring (Plaza de Toros), alongside the trade fair (Feria de Muestras), the animals and the classic vehicles.

Practical tips
- If you can only go one weekend, pick the second: that’s the one with the medieval market, the trade fair, the animals and the classic vehicles.
- Don’t rely on the dates until the programme is out. If 2025 is anything to go by, it will be published in late October.
- If you go in the final week, only the funfair is left.
