Hunting fair to attract thousands to Albufeira
Albufeira’s Hunting, Fishing, Tourism and Nature Fair is returning for its 26th edition between July 5 and 7.
Last year’s fair was held for the first time at a new larger space near the Albufeira Marina and was deemed such a success that it will be used to host the event once again, organisers have confirmed.
The fair aims to showcase some of the Algarve’s more traditional customs and activities, giving hunters, fishermen and others linked to the rural world a venue to promote their crafts.
With an exhibition space of over 1,000sqm, the event will feature several stalls selling fishing and hunting items, as well as animal exhibitions, a skeet shooting competition, fishing competitions, equestrian events, pointing dog demonstrations, concerts and “much more”.
The fair, which last year attracted around 40,000 visitors, will begin at 6.30pm on Friday, with doors opening at 11am the following two days and staying open until late into the night.
Admission is free.
