The councillor for Fiestas, Toni Pérez, describes this Fira as: ‘Very much awaited’. He vindicates the work carried out by the artisans and footwear manufacturers of Lloseta. He invites us to: ‘Make people and enjoy them, with a wide range of activities adapted to all audiences’. He is grateful for the: ‘Great social involvement, which is essential for the Fira to have the participation of everyone and to be a showcase of the tradition of Lloseta adapted to modernity’.
Javier González, as mayor, comments: ‘It is a Fira that recalls our essence, history and tradition. Modernity meets tradition in a few days of celebration that are the perfect time to remember our parents and grandparents. Their effort and sacrifice to give us a better future’. That is why he invites us:’ To get to know this Fira. To go out into the street and visit its establishments, complementing the visit to the Fira with our rich gastronomy’.

With regard to what visitors will find, he maintains that ‘it continues along the same lines as in previous years, but handicrafts have made their way in, bringing more variety. There are only two shoe factories left in the shoe industry, so the Fira is a tribute to the value of this work’. It will be an opportunity to spend a different Sunday and to be able to buy high quality articles at good prices’. All this has been possible thanks to the collaboration of the town’s social fabric: ‘Fortunately, we have many associations that are very involved, who have worked to ensure that everything goes very well’.
