For one day, you’ll be immersed in a world full of fantastical creatures. The International Medieval Festival of Fairies and Elves will return in 2026 to the former convent in the Desierto de los Leones. Mark your calendar because it will only last one day.
This event has a medieval theme, so each edition features activities such as combat, dances, and more. There’s even usually a flea market where you can buy various items related to the era. You’ll find crafts, books, costumes, and a variety of dishes and drinks.
Date of the 2026 International Medieval Festival of Fairies and Elves
Kamelot El Castillo del Rey, the event organizers, announced that in 2026 the festival will take place on Sunday, October 4, at the former convent in the Desierto de los Leones.
Among the activities you’ll see in 2026 are rune readings, Arabic dance, and knightly combat. Of course, you’ll encounter fairies and elves throughout the event.
If you’d like, you can wear a costume that fits the theme. Don’t forget your jacket—it’s usually cold in the Desierto de los Leones.
No further details about this year’s festival have been revealed. However, ticket prices and the date when tickets go on sale will be announced in the coming days, so stay tuned. In the meantime, mark your calendars to experience a medieval adventure.
