Children up to 14 get in free if they are accompanied by an adult with a ticket, and so do people with a disability of 33% or more who show the relevant documentation. If you travel by train or plane, when you get your ticket you can download Renfe and Iberia discounts for trips to fairs organised by Feria Valencia.
A change of format. In 2025 the fair lasted four days, from 5 to 8 December. This year it is condensed into three, from Friday to Sunday, with opening hours extended to 8pm. If you want to compare models without rushing, our advice is to go early, as Saturday and Sunday tend to be busier.
What You’ll Find at the Fair
According to the organisers, the fair works as one big car dealership where you can see and buy vehicles from different brands. This is the offer listed on the official website.
- New vehicles from the main brands.
- Zero-mileage (km 0), dealer-owned and demo vehicles.
- Used vehicles.
- Eco-friendly vehicles, such as electric and hybrid cars.
- Commercial vehicles.
- Insurance and finance companies, plus associations, the specialist press and auxiliary industry.
For reference, the 2025 edition brought together 46 official brands, nearly 4,000 vehicles and around 50,000 square metres across four pavilions. It exceeded 32,000 visitors over four days, about 15% more than in 2023, and the organisers estimate a volume of more than 2,000 vehicles sold during the days of the fair. The list of exhibitors for 2026 will be published on the official website.
2025 also saw the launch of the Industrial and Commercial Vehicles Forum, aimed at the self-employed, small businesses and professionals looking for vans, panel vans, pick-ups or light industrial vehicles of up to 3,500 kilograms. In 2026 the organisers are keeping that dedicated offer of commercial and industrial vehicles.
How to Get to Feria Valencia and Where to Park

Fair, Marathon and December Bridge, a Weekend Full of Activity
The weekend of 4 to 6 December packs several events into Valencia.

You can see all the details in our guide to the Valencia Marathon 2026. It’s worth bearing in mind when moving around the city and booking accommodation early.
The December bridge weekend (puente) also arrives. Tuesday 8, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, is a public holiday across Spain. In the Comunitat Valenciana, Monday 7 is a working day, because Constitution Day falls on a Sunday and isn’t moved, but in other regions, such as Madrid or Andalusia, Monday 7 is a holiday and the long weekend runs from Saturday 5 to Tuesday 8. To round off your stay, see our plans for the December long weekend in Valencia.
