Ondara’s historic Fira de Fires returns with music, shopping, crafts and animals
Ondara will celebrate its long-standing Fira de Fires, since 1690, this November 2025. The event will take place over two main weekends — Saturday 8 to Sunday 9 and Saturday 15 to Sunday November 16— while the funfair will remain open until Sunday November 23 on Calle Naciones sin Estado. The fair will close that day with the National Dog Show in Plaza del Convento.
The event includes a wide range of activities combining music, art, shopping, gastronomy and tradition. The mayor, José Ramiro, and councillor Raquel Mengual presented the full programme alongside representatives from local associations and businesses. The official 2025 poster was created by local designer Hugo Giner.
The Festeros de la Soledad y Cristo 2026 will host gastronomic spaces in Plaza del Convento, while November 12 and 19 will be Children’s Days with discounted fairground rides.
First weekend: neighbouring towns united
The opening weekend will feature the VIII Marina Alta Fair, the Feria de Ferias concert, and the III Quick Painting Competition “The Colours of Ondara.”
The Marina Alta Fair, held at the Prado building, will unite neighbouring towns such as Ondara, Els Poblets, El Verger, Beniarbeig, Denia, Pedreguer, Pego and La Vall de Laguar to promote their local crafts, traditions and tourism. Throughout the weekend, there will be talks and workshops highlighting regional culture and enterprise.
The Quick Painting Competition, organised by ADAMA and the Town Hall, will take place on Sunday 9 November. Artists will compete for prizes including €500, €250, and a trip for two to the Balearic Islands, with additional awards for local and regional talent.
Music lovers can enjoy the Feria de Ferias concert on Saturday 8 November at the bullring, featuring La Fúmiga, Ramonets and Abril. With 2,500 tickets already sold out, the show promises a vibrant evening of festive and family-friendly music.
Second weekend: Ondara Traders and Business
The following weekend will include the 38th Trade and Shopping Fair, the Medieval Market, the Animal Fair, and the Classic Vehicle Exhibition.
The Trade and Shopping Fair, held at the Prado, will showcase more than 25 local and regional businesses, including shops, artisans and service providers. The Ondara Traders and Business Association (ACO) will also organise a charity hamper to support traders affected by last year’s DANA floods in Valencia.
Surrounding the fair, visitors can stroll through the Medieval Market filled with artisan stalls and food stands, or visit the Animal Fair in the bullring, featuring livestock and traditional cart rides for children on Sunday 16 November.
Car enthusiasts can enjoy the 20th Classic Vehicle Exhibition on Avenida Doctor Fleming, with cars, trucks and Vespas on display, followed by a parade at midday.
The National Dog Show on Sunday 23 November will mark the official closing of the 2025 Fira de Fires.
This year’s edition promises to fill Ondara with life, colour and community spirit, blending centuries-old tradition with a modern celebration of culture, creativity and commerce.
