Expofiesta 2026 at IFA – Fira Alacant: where to stay nearby

EXPOFIESTA brings together festive associations from the province of Alicante alongside companies and services from the world of celebration: dance troupes, street-dance and theatre groups, floats, lighting and sound specialists, regional costume makers, and organisers of pageants and parades. It is a showcase where local tradition meets the latest trends in the fiesta industry. Over three days, visitors can meet specialist suppliers, watch live demonstrations and discover the proposals of brands that take part every year in the most iconic festivals of the Valencia region. The fair is also a meeting point where festive committees plan their upcoming season. The event is held at the IFA – Fira Alacant exhibition centre, located between Elche and Alicante next to El Altet airport and with direct access from the A-7 motorway. Its location makes it easy for both exhibitors and the general public to attend from across the province. For those travelling from further afield, the area offers a wide choice of hotels in Alicante and Elche, as well as bus and train links to the venue. Booking accommodation in advance is recommended, as the fair coincides with other festive events on the autumn calendar.
