The event, dedicated to promoting local figs and their gastronomic potential, will host over twenty exhibitors. The mayor of Alguaire, Joan Guillaumet, and the first deputy mayor, Ferran Nogueras, presented the fair, highlighting the importance of the Coll de Dama fig for the municipality.
One of the main novelties will be the tasting of the fig cake, scheduled for 6:00 PM. This event is part of a program with a strong gastronomic focus, including demonstrations of sweet and savory recipes and a popular lunch featuring figs as the main ingredient.
Deputy Fermí Masot emphasized the commitment to growing the 'Figa d’Alguaire' brand, thereby valuing local producers from the entire Lleida region.
Fig production, particularly the Coll de Dama variety, is a key identity marker for Alguaire. Provisional data from the Department of Agriculture for 2026 indicates approximately 4,600 tons produced in the Lleida region.
The fair will commence at 9:00 AM with the activity ‘Let's go to the field to pick figs,’ and the fairgrounds will open at 10:00 AM. The institutional inauguration is set for 10:30 AM.
The program includes culinary demonstrations, a popular lunch, a Freestyle Motocross exhibition at 5:30 PM, and live music starting at 6:00 PM. The fair will close at 9:00 PM.
