The Gibraltar Fair is organised each summer by the Self Determination for Gibraltar Group (SDGG) together with Gibraltar Cultural Services, and forms part of the National Celebrations leading up to 10 September. It is held at the ex-Rooke site on Queensway. Attractions include fairground rides for different age groups, tombolas, games and stalls run by local charities, plus food and drink outlets including a churros stall. A Family Pavilion hosts a free nightly entertainment programme. In 2026 the fair ran from Friday 21 to Saturday 29 August and all rides cost £3. Dates for each year are usually announced in May.
