With just over 30 days left to kick off a new edition of the Fira d'Andorra la Vella - this year it reaches its 41st edition - the capital of the Principality is already working on the organization of what it is, without a doubt , the most relevant event for the associative and commercial fabric of the country and, why not say it, of the entire Pyrenees.
All people interested in attending the event, either as exhibitors or visitors, will have to reserve, again, a space in their agendas during the last days of October, specifically on the 25th, 26th and 27th. Regarding the location , this will also remain as in previous years, with the Parc Central and the urban path that borders the Valira River as it passes through the center of the capital, the areas where the main thickness of exhibitors will be concentrated.
The Fira d'Andorra la Vella in figures: 200 exhibitors and 65,000 visitors on average
With more than 200 exhibitors and 65,000 visitors on average during the last editions, the strength of the Fira d'Andorra la Vella is unquestionable, with participation figures that speak for themselves. Fully consolidated within the fair calendar as a reference event, both for exhibitors and visitors, the current concept of the Fira d'Andorra la Vella has little, or rather nothing, to do with that of the beginning, when in 1979, the Ministry of Agriculture decided to recover the old traditional livestock fair, held for the first time in 1885.
Over the years, the traditional livestock fair would evolve, to the point of eventually becoming the Fira d'Andorra la Vella that we know today. An evolution that has not only been reflected in a significant increase in the number of exhibitors and visitors, but also in the location - from Plaza dels Braus to Parc Central - and in the location - from outside to covered.
Special prices on automobiles and discounts on Grandvalira and Vallnord ski passes
Traditionally, one of the great attractions of the Fira d'Andorra la Vella has been, without a doubt, the large number of exhibitors from the automotive sector, as well as the presence of the country's two ski resorts, Grandvalira and Vallnord, the which offer special prices on their ski passes during the 3 days that the contest lasts. Thus, it is not surprising that both stations take advantage of the celebration of the Fira d'Andorra la Vella to symbolically start the season and, at the same time, ensure one of the periods with the highest number of tickets sold of the entire year, both to Andorran residents and foreign audiences.
Spaces to give voice to the associative fabric of Andorra
Beyond being one of the main showcases for companies dedicated to the service sector, the Fira d'Andorra la Vella reserves spaces to give voice to the country's associative fabric and for non-profit entities. In these spaces, which form the Association Fair venue, more than 50 exhibitors are expected to participate, including associations and entities. An event that will also feature several activities aimed at all ages, highlighting dog demonstrations, dances by professional groups, presentations of all kinds, games for the little ones, among others.
