SUMMARY:Foire de la Saint Martin
DESCRIPTION:All the Fun of the Fair: Foire Saint-Martin 2026\nSaturday 24th October – Sunday 22nd November 2026 \nRoll up\, roll up! Perpignan’s annual Foire Saint-Martin is back\, bringing a month of flashing lights\, questionable amounts of sugar and rides specifically designed to remind you that your stomach isn’t quite as resilient as it was at 18. \nTaking over the area around the Parc des Expositions\, the Foire Saint-Martin is one of Perpignan’s great autumn traditions and a sure sign that summer is well and truly behind us. \nFrom Saturday 24th October to Sunday 22nd November 2026\, the enormous funfair opens every day from 2pm\, with rides\, games and attractions for everyone from tiny thrill-seekers to considerably bigger ones who should probably know better. \nAll the fun of the fair\nExpect everything you’d hope to find at a proper French fête foraine. \nThere are rides for younger children\, family attractions and fairground games alongside the considerably more alarming machines that spin\, drop and fling willing participants around at speeds that don’t seem entirely sensible. \nYou’ll also find the classics: dodgems\, thrill rides\, children’s rides\, games of skill and chance\, fairground stalls and plenty more. \nAnd\, of course\, food. \nBecause no trip to a French funfair is complete without consuming something containing enough sugar to keep you awake until approximately February. \nThink churros\, crêpes\, waffles\, candyfloss\, sweets and other gloriously unhealthy fairground treats. \nNobody comes here for the salad. \nA Perpignan tradition\nThe Foire Saint-Martin has been part of Perpignan life for generations. \nOver the years\, the fair has occupied different parts of the city\, including the Promenade des Platanes\, before eventually settling beside the Parc des Expositions. \nToday it remains one of the city’s biggest annual family events\, arriving just in time for the autumn school holidays and continuing well into November. \nAnd despite all the new rides\, flashing LEDs and increasingly elaborate attractions\, there’s still something reassuringly old-fashioned about it. \nChildren desperately trying to win an enormous cuddly toy. Teenagers pretending not to be terrified. Parents wondering how they have somehow spent €40 in twenty minutes. \nSome traditions never change. \nWhen should you go?\nThe fair opens every day from 2pm\, so afternoons are a good option for families with younger children. \nAs darkness falls\, however\, the Foire Saint-Martin really comes into its own. \nThousands of lights illuminate the fairground\, the music gets louder and the atmosphere becomes considerably livelier. If you’ve got older children\, teenagers or simply fancy an evening out that’s a little different\, this is when you’ll see the fair at its most spectacular. \nOpening hours and individual attraction schedules can vary\, particularly depending on the day and weather\, so it’s worth checking the latest information before setting off. \nFoire Saint-Martin 2026\nSaturday 24th October – Sunday 22nd November 2026 \nWhere: Parc des Expositions\, Perpignan\nOpening: Every day from 2pm\nAdmission: Entry to the fairground is free. Rides and attractions are individually charged. \nWhether you’re there for the rides\, the atmosphere\, the churros or simply to stand safely on the ground holding everybody else’s coats\, the Foire Saint-Martin is a proper slice of autumn in Perpignan. \nAnd if somebody suggests going on the biggest ride immediately after you’ve eaten a bag of churros? \nJust say no. \n\n\n\n\nEvery day from 2pm – midnight\nWeekends and bank holidays – 2pm – 1am \nFollow them on Facebook \n\n\n\n\n  \nShare this:\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n\n	Related\n
