Ibiza Medieval Fair 2026: dates, location and everything you need to know

Ibiza Medieval Fair 2026 is one of the island’s most iconic cultural events, transforming the historic centre into a vibrant medieval setting filled with markets, performances and tradition. If you are planning a trip to Ibiza in spring, this is an experience you shouldn’t miss.

What is the Ibiza Medieval Fair?

The Ibiza Medieval Fair is an annual event held in the heart of Dalt Vila, the island’s historic walled city. The fair was first launched in 1999 to celebrate Ibiza’s declaration as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and since then it has become one of the most popular events in the island’s cultural calendar.

During the fair, the old town is transformed into a living medieval village. Streets are filled with artisan stalls, traditional food vendors, street performers, musicians and theatrical shows, all recreating the atmosphere of the Middle Ages.

Visitors can explore centuries-old streets while discovering handcrafted products, local gastronomy and cultural displays that reflect Ibiza’s rich history.
