Binissalem will celebrate the XXIII edition of the Stone and Crafts Fair from 23 to 31 May 2026, one of the municipality’s most emblematic cultural and traditional events and one of the most representative celebrations of Mallorca’s artisanal heritage. For more than a week, the town will host an extensive programme of activities designed to highlight the importance of stone craftsmanship, local traditions, gastronomy, music and popular culture.
The fair will once again transform the streets and squares of Binissalem into a meeting point between tradition and innovation, bringing together artisans, artists, wineries, associations and residents around an event that continues to preserve the municipality’s historical identity. This year’s edition will also commemorate the 40th anniversary of the installation of the “Picapedrer” sculpture, created by artist and master stonemason Guillem Terrassa “Mekis”, a key figure in Binissalem’s collective memory.
