In late August, local businesses in Ourense reported shifting consumer trends influenced by weather and tourism patterns. Rainfall impacted sales for ice cream parlors, while tourists in the artisan and retail sectors showed a preference for smaller, more economical items like low-cost Galician crafts over more expensive pieces.

By mid-September, the regional focus shifted toward community events and traditional festivities. Scheduled activities included second-hand markets in Casarrubuelos and Esgos to promote sustainable consumption, as well as the II Xuntanza de Entroidos featuring traditional carnival representations. Other regional events included the 38th Milla Urbana in O Barco and musical festivities in O Carballiño.
