Agenda

The holding of municipal fairs always had a strong tradition in Minho. On the defined calendar day, especially the people who lived in the villages, they soon became accustomed to moving to the fairs, either to market their products or to stock up on products for themselves, the family, the home or their work . Farmers, seamstresses, housewives and marketers have become accustomed to living in this secular space.

This space is organized by sectors, with more than 100 places for non-sedentary retail trade.

The fair is held on Monday, every two weeks and has a free public car park. There is a food and beverage establishment inside the Bus Station and public toilets in the immediate vicinity of the premises, which serve as support for merchants and consumers.

This is an initiative of the Municipality of Esposende, which has a partnership with the University of Minho and the Institute for the Conservation of Nature and Forests, as well as with the collaboration of Esposende Ambiente, EM, as a municipal company responsible for managing all the environmental aspect of the municipality, which takes place within the scope of the Operational Program Sustainability and Efficiency in the Use of Resources, for the operationalization of the Portugal 2020 Strategy, whose objective is to support the implementation of actions in the circuit of the marine information system, namely collection information, development of management tools, research and data processing to support decision making in the area of marine biodiversity as a tool in promoting the sustainability of resources.
