Fairs

DIA DEL CABALLO (Horse Fair - Arlucea, Marquínez, Okina, San Vicente de Arana, and Lagrán)

This fair is held on the second Sunday of September and rotates in each one of these towns. The purpose of the fair is to pay homage to horses, emphasizing all of their characteristics from sports to feed. Visitors can start out the day by seeing the small fair with local products from the area, participating in a tasting of horse meat, and finish by visiting the temporary racetrack that is made so you can enjoy watching some horse racing, dressage, and shows.

FAIR OF SAN MARTIN (Santa Cruz de Campezo)

This fair is held on the second Sunday in November. It is undoubtedly the most important agricultural-livestock fair in the region due to its size and the number of participants. True to its name, visitors will see a display of livestock from around the region (mares, horses, sheep, cows, pigs. . .). You can also see a sample of handcrafted items made by talented artisans.

In addition, you can take a stroll through the different stands that sell typical products from the region (Alavesan Pinto Beans, Honey, cookies, etc.). There is a cuisine contest that is held at midday and the afternoon is topped off by a rural sports show or even a game of pelota.

THE HONEY FAIR (Antoñana)

This fair is all about honey and is held during the month of May. There is also a contest of desserts made with honey as well as a honey contest. Don?t forget that the honey in this area has been awarded the label of quality.
