Alcúdia brings its historic Sa Fira to a spectacular close after three days of tradition and celebration

Alcúdia has brought this year’s Sa Fira to a lively close after three days of activities celebrating the Mallorcan town’s history, traditions, rural heritage and community spirit.

The final day once again transformed the streets into a meeting point for residents and visitors, with a packed programme offering something for all ages. From traditional giants and agricultural displays to animals, Roman re-enactments and children’s activities, the Sunday programme continued the festive atmosphere that had filled Alcúdia throughout the weekend.

A celebration of Alcúdia’s heritage

The annual Fira is much more than a street festival, with the event providing an opportunity to showcase traditions and elements of local life that have shaped the community over generations.

The town’s famous gegants, or giant figures, were among the attractions featured during the celebrations, adding one of Mallorca’s best-known traditions to the programme.

The agricultural and rural elements of Sa Fira also highlighted Alcúdia’s connection to the countryside, while the Roman-themed activities offered visitors the chance to step back into the island’s ancient past.

For younger visitors, a selection of activities helped make the final day a family-friendly occasion, with children able to enjoy the festive atmosphere alongside the traditional displays and performances.

Across the three days, the event encouraged people to explore Alcúdia on foot, discover its heritage and enjoy the town’s streets, squares and historic surroundings.

Music brings the celebrations to an end

After three busy days, organisers chose music and traditional dancing as the perfect way to bring Sa Fira to a close.

Plaza Carles V became the centre of the final celebrations as crowds gathered for a ballada popular, a traditional community dance event featuring performances by Sarau Alcudienc, Càrritx and Música Nostra.

The evening provided a fitting finale to the festivities, bringing together generations of residents and visitors in one of Alcúdia’s most recognisable public spaces.

Traditional music and dancing have long played an important role in Mallorca’s cultural celebrations, and the final performance gave people the opportunity to enjoy these customs in a lively, communal setting.

The atmosphere marked a final chance for people to meet friends, spend time with family and enjoy the festival before the streets returned to normal.

‘The heart of Alcúdia’

The local council thanked everyone who took part in the three-day celebration, highlighting the role played by residents in making Sa Fira a success.

The message to the community was one of appreciation for everyone who had taken to the streets, participated in the activities and helped create the atmosphere throughout the weekend.

With its combination of heritage, farming traditions, entertainment, family activities, music and local culture, Sa Fira once again offered a snapshot of the character of Alcúdia.

The closing celebrations ended with a clear message from the organisers: Sa Fira is not simply an event held in Alcúdia, but a celebration shaped by the people who live there.

As the final music faded from Plaza Carles V, this year’s edition came to an end, leaving residents and visitors with three days of traditional entertainment, community celebrations and a chance to experience the historic town at its most festive.
