The 2026 edition of the Canha Medieval Fair transformed the village streets into an authentic 13th-century settlement.

Three unmissable days at one of the region’s biggest events!

The royal couple (King Dinis and Queen Saint Isabel) brought splendor and solemnity to the reenactments.
The vibrant Souk and the market teemed with artisans, merchants, and the sounds of yesteryear.
Medieval feasts and the immersive game “The Witch of Canha” captivated both young and old.
Fire shows, traveling performers, and tournaments kept the spirit of the town alive well into the night.

As the doors closed on July 26, a sense of nostalgia lingered for the sound of lutes and the camaraderie of the taverns. The hearts of revelers and locals are already counting the days until the return.

We want to see knights and nobles crossing paths once again in the public squares of Canha.
We eagerly await the new banquets and stories the King will bring in the next edition, and look forward to making the experience even more magical in 2027.

Nas praças de Canha ecoa o cantar,
De um tempo antigo que volta a nascer,
D. Dinis e a Rainha vemos passar,
Nesta feira nobre que nos faz erguer.
"Ai flores, ai flores de Canha,
Se sabedes novas de meu amado?
Aquele que na feira tanto se acanha,
Mais que jurou haver meu amor jurado!
O meu amigo foi ao mercado.
Comprou as Broas e um anel.
Sob o luar do burgo passado.
Jurou ser-me sempre fiel.
Ai Deus, coitada, como esperarei?
Até que o ano venha a findar.
Na nova feira o abraçarei.
Quando el'Rei ali regressar."
