Feria de Meló – The Melon Fair in Villafranca

Vilafranca de Bonany is located in the fertile region of Pla de Mallorca and well known for its production of beautiful, huge and delicious melons. The peak moment for the people of this agricultural town arrives when in September the Melon Fair is celebrated.Many tourists, although also Mallorcan from all corners of the island, are coming to Vilafranca to enjoy the celebrations of this peculiar fair, where the streets are filled with products from the garden, local specialties and typical handcraft. But the big stars are the melons, green, lush and tasty, which have made the town famous.

Not surprising that among the activities that attract the most attention to visitors, the contest for the largest melon is the highlight.
