Each November, Muro in Mallorca hosts the Fira de sa Carabassa (Pumpkin Fair), a centerpiece of the Fira de Tardor. This festive event celebrates autumn with, of course, a focus on pumpkins, offering a welcoming atmosphere with activities and entertainment for all ages. 


On Saturday, the fun starts with many pumpkin themed activities such as a pumpkin treasure hunt, along with workshops, and poetry readings. Families can enjoy games like the Joc de traginar carabasses, while competitive spirits can join in darts, bike trials, and minibike races.


Sunday’s highlight is the Concurs de Carabasses, a pumpkin contest offering cash prizes for the largest pumpkins, alongside storytelling sessions, workshops, pumpkin-themed tastings and traditional fair attractions, making this annual event a delightful celebration of autumn in Mallorca.

The Dijous Bo Fair in Inca, Mallorca, is the highlight of the town’s autumn festivities, held annually on the third Thursday of November. This massive market, featuring hundreds of stalls selling Mallorcan products, draws both locals and tourists to enjoy the lively atmosphere, which kicks off the night before. If you’re visiting the island during this time, Dijous Bo is a must-see event.


The fair is the culmination of a series of four autumn fairs that start in mid-October, growing larger each week. It has historical roots as a medieval market where farmers traded animals and goods, and today it continues to showcase local crafts, from leather goods to Mallorcan delicacies like olive oil, cheeses, and sobrasada. Alongside the market, visitors can enjoy wine tastings, performances, and exhibitions.


For an even more festive experience, visit Inca the night before for Dimecres Bo, a lively evening filled with street food stalls and fairground attractions. While in town, explore Inca’s leather outlets and dine at one of its traditional cellers, which offer local cuisine in rustic settings.
