In Son Ferriol, there are three distinct reasons to visit: the Mercado, the Fira and a seasonal nativity scene exhibition. They represent different themes and follow different schedules. Which one is the deciding factor for your stay also determines when you may want to travel.

The Mercado across three streets

The Mercado de Son Ferriol takes place year-round on Saturday mornings and extends along the streets of Prevere Bartomeu Font, Sant Joan de la Creu and la Blatera. The market should therefore be understood as an area spanning several streets; all three names are part of its location. Saturday morning is the regular point of reference for your visit. Check the date before travelling if the market is a main reason for your trip.

The range of goods includes food, clothing, shoes, accessories, flowers, plants, handicrafts, leather goods and household items. Food is offered alongside clothing and shoes, flowers and plants alongside handicrafts and household items. The Mercado is therefore not focused exclusively on food. The specific goods offered by individual stalls may vary and change over time.

The Fira: agriculture, livestock and trade

The Fira de Son Ferriol is an annual agricultural, livestock and trade fair. These three themes give it its character as a fair, setting it apart from the Mercado. For the 32nd edition in March 2026, Avinguda del Cid and the adjacent streets were designated as the venue. This location information refers to the announced edition. If you want to visit a future Fira, check the date and venue for that edition.

A nativity scene with a seasonal window

The nativity scene exhibition also adds its own seasonal highlight. One of the most significant nativity scenes is displayed in the Church of Sant Antoni Abad in the Son Ferriol district. Together with the nativity scene in the church of Son Roca, it remains on display until the end of January. Dates and arrangements may vary from year to year, so take the specific information for the relevant year into account. If visiting the nativity scene is one of your priorities, check whether the exhibition is scheduled for your travel dates.

Coordinate your travel dates and accommodation

There are three different criteria for choosing when to travel: a Saturday morning year-round for the Mercado, an annual fair with a venue announced for the 32nd edition, and a nativity scene exhibition running until the end of January, with dates that may vary. Comparing them can help you decide what to focus on during your stay: the market, the fair or the nativity scene exhibition. If you are looking for a hotel or other accommodation in Son Ferriol, you can plan your travel dates around the occasion that matters to you, rather than assigning the same timeframe to all three offerings.
