The Fira de Son Ferriol, which will celebrate its 29th edition this Sunday, will feature a hundred exhibitors and a display of farm animals and agricultural machinery

The traditional Fira de Son Ferriol offers a multitude of activities for those who want to spend a pleasant weekend: a large number of exhibitors – more than one linear kilometre – will present local animals (sheep, horses, goats, falcons, pigs). As well as local products and musical entertainment, which occupy the entire Son Ramis esplanade.

Palma’s great fair is back to normal this year after the pandemic. For the first time on Saturday there will be an athletics race that will start and finish at the Plaça Prevere Bartomeu Font. Registration is required.

On the occasion of its 50th anniversary, this year the Sant Antoni Abad school is taking centre stage: the school’s façade illustrates the commemorative poster for the event.

As the Palma Town Hall has informed the public, free shuttle buses will be running every ten minutes to facilitate access to the exhibition. They will leave from the Son Llàtzer hospital car park.
