The mayor of Mollerussa, Marc Solsona, presented the 2026 trade fair calendar this Tuesday, positioning the Fira de Sant Josep as a benchmark for Southern Europe.

The Fira de Mollerussa believes that the recent changes at Lleida's Sant Miquel Fair have strengthened its own position. Mayor Marc Solsona stated that the 153rd Fira de Sant Josep, held from March 19 to 22, is now the leading event for agricultural machinery in Southern Europe.

"The combination of the Lleida and Mollerussa models should serve to complement each other rather than compete."

The upcoming edition already has over 200 confirmed exhibitors and 20,500 square meters of space sold. Despite ongoing electrical works on Canal Avenue, the fair will maintain its successful layout, starting from the tractor roundabout on the road to Borges Blanques.
The 2026 calendar features ten events in total, including the Automobile Salon and the Lan Party. The organization operates with a budget of 750,000 euros, supported by sponsors such as Puleva and Vera.
