Feria de Todos los Santos en Villayón

Introduction and local significance

The Feria de Todos los Santos in Villayón is held next Saturday, 31 October 2026, at the Polideportivo Municipal, from 10:00 to 15:00. This Asturian municipality hosts a day aimed at audiences of different ages that combines handicrafts, local products and Asturian customs. The event is organised by the Villayón Town Council with the collaboration of Caja Rural de Asturias, bringing together cultural, musical and livestock sector proposals.

Historical origins and tradition

The celebration maintains its roots in the primary sector through an equine livestock fair in which three prizes are awarded to those who present the highest number of heads of cattle. The organisation covers transport costs for participants, with prior registration at the Villayón Town Council being essential according to the rules announced on the poster. Local traditions are also reflected in sports practice, highlighting an initiation to bolo celta (a traditional Asturian bowling game) for children organised by the Peña La Cantera to introduce this sport to new generations.

Programme and main events

The official programme for this edition features a performance by the Banda de Gaitas «El Oso Pardo», in charge of providing the sound of traditional Asturian music. The day also includes children's activities such as the «Otoño dulce» (Sweet Autumn) workshop and a face-painting session by Lucía Danceo. It is recommended to check the official programme before your visit to verify the times and scheduled activities.

Traditional festival food

Attendees can browse different food stalls located at the fairgrounds. These spaces offer residents and visitors the opportunity to discover gastronomic products and items made in a traditional way. The offer is completed with basketry and craft stalls that complement the day's commercial proposal.
