When the summer sun sets on the Costa Blanca, the event calendar heats up. From grand trade shows to quirky cultural conventions, the region’s two major exhibition centres, IFA-Fira Alacant in Alicante and IFEPA-Palacio de Ferias in Torre-Pacheco, have a diverse schedule of events to keep you entertained during the colder months.
Here’s a look at what you can expect from each venue this winter.
IFA-Fira Alacant: The Hub for Business and Family Fun
IFA, which is conveniently located near Alicante Airport, is the go-to venue for major consumer and trade fairs that attract visitors from all over the province. Its winter calendar focuses on events that benefit local businesses and provide family-friendly entertainment during the holidays.

Expomascotas, a weekend dedicated to our fur babies, is a popular family event that includes dog shows, animal-themed products, and pet-care information.
Children’s & Youth Leisure Fair

This is a holiday tradition and one of the most popular IFA events. It’s a massive fair with attractions, games, workshops, and entertainment to keep kids occupied over the Christmas break.
While IFA is a central pillar for large-scale, family-oriented, and commercial events, IFEPA carves out its own niche with specialised shows catering to specific interests, such as pop culture and caravanning. Regardless of your preference, both venues keep the Costa Blanca’s vibrant community spirit alive well into the winter season.
