General view of a Christmas fair with craft stalls and people walking around in a festive atmosphere.
The 31st Roquetes Christmas Fair, the oldest exhibition in the Terres de l’Ebre region, concluded on the weekend of December 14 and 15 with massive attendance and a record 75 exhibitors.
The fair resulted in an economic injection exceeding 30,000 euros for local businesses in les Roquetes, thanks to the ‘Get on the local shopping train’ campaign. It also broke the historical record with 75 exhibitors, offering zero-kilometer products, natural cosmetics, jewelry, illustration, and local gastronomy.

"It is the most historic fair in the Terres de l’Ebre, held over a very complete weekend, filling the city with locals, but especially with visitors from all our regions who come to enjoy both the city and its entire offering."
A novelty this year was the incorporation of workshops and demonstrations of traditional crafts, such as palm weaving (llata) and ceramics, led by members of Artpauma and Raval de l’Art, supported by the Port Natural Park and ARTRA Cultural Management.
Solidarity was also present, coinciding with the celebration of La Marató de TV3, dedicated this year to the fight against cancer. Through the solidarity walk, cycle ride, and musical aperitif, a total of 976 euros was raised. Children enjoyed the Polar Express, the arrival of the Royal Pages, and the show La perla del Nadal.

"For people to come out, things must happen, and we make them happen. We are fortunate to have associations that start the engine and fill our squares and streets with dynamism. Everyone is dedicated to the fair, and that is appreciated."
