The 44th Alpiagra agricultural and commercial fair in Alpiarça commenced on August 22, featuring a traditional Grape Harvest Procession and the debut of ‘Pastéis de Melão’, a limited-edition pastry. The event, which runs until August 30, aims to integrate agriculture, gastronomy, and local traditions through various cultural and musical performances.

By late August, regional agricultural fairs in Portugal continued to highlight local economic diversity. In addition to the ongoing Alpiagra event, which hosted nearly 150 exhibitors, the AGRIVAL fair in Penafiel celebrated the 186th anniversary of the Onion Fair, including an onion contest for local producers.
