The Balaguer City Council has announced that the Harpia Balaguer Medieval Fair will be held on September 25, 26, and 27, 2026.

This decision marks a return to the event's original timing. The change follows feedback from visitors and stallholders who noted that May was becoming less ideal due to rising temperatures and its proximity to the end of the school year.
By moving the fair back to September, the capital of Noguera aims to provide a better environment for the historical reenactments and market activities that define this popular local tradition.
