Local produce makes its case at Mercat de Mercats 2023

Plaça de les Glòries will again fill with local produce from the markets and the territory, music and activities around food and produce at another Mercat de Mercats fair on 20, 21 and 22 October.

Mercat de Mercats aims to make the case for municipal markets as economic and social motors in neighbourhoods, representatives of local retail and drivers of the territory, and to promote values such as sustainability, consumption of local products and local cuisine. 

Stalls of Catalan producers and artisans

The fair will have a space where local producers and artisans are represented, so that each stall can sell its produce directly to the fair's visitors.

Interested producers and artisans should email events@vanvanmarket.com,   projectes@vanvanmarket.com and on mromeroru@bcn.cat confirming their intention to take part in order to start the registration process. Once the process has started, the signed application must be returned and payment made before 11 August, sending an email with proof of payment.

Traders taking part as "Catalan producers and artisans" must pay, per stand, €450 as a deposit and €1,000 (+ 21% VAT) in management fees. After the fair the deposit will be returned to each participant. The management fee will not be refunded under any circumstances. 

If a trader withdraws without giving 15 days' notice, or fails to attend, neither the deposit nor the management fee will be refunded. 

More than 40,000 attendees

In 2022, more than 40,000 people attended the Mercat de Mercats fair to celebrate Barcelona's markets and local, sustainable food with the city's residents.

This year's edition will have a wide programme, with workshops, showcookings and presentations in the Classroom , while children can enjoy activities and games in the Children's Area. Music and entertainment will liven up the fair, along with an area with microwaves and barbecue-style grills where visitors can heat, cook and taste local produce on the spot.
