Sta Caterina de Arbeca Oil Fair

The Santa Catalina Fair and the Arbequina Olive Fair in Arbeca are two emblematic celebrations that, year after year, fill the town with aromas, tradition, and a festive atmosphere that captivates all who visit. This deeply rooted tradition is much more than a commercial event: it is a living testament to the identity of Arbeca, its people, and its star product, Arbequina olive oil.

Throughout the weekend, the village streets transform into a vibrant community hub where gastronomy, culture, and activities for all ages come together. Tastings of local olive oils offer the chance to discover the intensity, finesse, and nuances of one of the country's most prized oils, crafted with the expertise of producers who keep a centuries-old tradition alive. Likewise, the popular vermouth, tastings, fair breakfasts, and culinary offerings featuring local produce fill every corner of the village with irresistible aromas.

The fair also places a strong emphasis on culture and entertainment. The atmosphere comes alive with family shows, theater, musical performances, and activities designed to delight both young and old. Demonstrations of traditional crafts, the presence of vintage tractors, folk dance performances, and football matches all contribute to a rich and diverse program that reflects the vibrancy of the town.

A highlight of the fair is the traditional exhibition and sale of Arbequina olives and related products, a unique opportunity to taste and take home the excellence of this iconic fruit. Stalls selling crafts and local products complete a route that invites you to discover Arbeca with all your senses.

The Santa Catalina Fair and the Arbequina Olive Fair are, in short, a celebration of authenticity, of the culture of olive oil and of the strength of a people who know how to share their essence with everyone who visits them.

A lively, welcoming and flavorful experience!
