Additionally, the square hosts a wide variety of stalls with all kinds of products, culinary offerings, and entertainment for both adults and children.
- Saturday 16: Petra "Sa Fira"
It is celebrated on the third Saturday of September. Although it is not know for certain, the origin of the fair could be related to the one in Manacor, which takes place the next day (the third Sunday of September since the late 18th century), as the merchants who went to sell their products at the Manacor fair would stop in Petra the day before and take advantage of their stop to sell. Now, it has become an institutionalized fair that sets up on the streets of Hospital and Sol, as well as the squares, from early Saturday morning.
- Saturday 16 & Sunday 17: Manacor "Fira de Setembre"
Manacor celebrates its September Fair, an artisan and Balearic product fair that features an extensive exhibition and sale of certified organic products.
