Mediterranean Diet Fair
View original eventSource · Visit Algarve
In September, the historic center of Tavira transforms into a large open-air stage to celebrate a heritage that belongs to everyone: the Mediterranean Diet, recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity since December 4, 2013.
The Mediterranean Diet Fair is a vibrant and multifaceted event that invites discovery and sharing. Along the banks of the Gilão River and in the squares and streets of the city, visitors find an authentic Mediterranean showcase: local producers' market, gastronomy and tastings, crafts, health and nutrition, Mediterranean environment and garden, spaces for children and youth, art and heritage exhibitions, seminars, concerts, theater, dance, cinema, digital art, physical activities, guided tours, and walks.
More than a party, this fair is a highlight of the Safeguarding Plan of the Mediterranean Diet, which unites Portugal with six other Mediterranean countries. The event stands out for valuing traditional productions, educational and intergenerational concerns, and promoting healthy, sustainable, and supportive lifestyles.
