Galatina Trade Fair

The 65th edition of the Galatina Trade Fair was held from Friday, June 27 to Monday, June 30, 2025, marking the return of the event to its historic Exhibition Centre on Viale Ippolito De Maria, which was completely redeveloped for the occasion. The chosen theme was "Rebirth", highlighting the new life of the event and the Salento territory.

The inauguration took place on Friday, June 27 at 6:00 PM, with the participation of actress Beatrice Luzzi as the guest of honor. The spaces hosted over one hundred exhibitors in the sectors of crafts, trade, industry, construction, renewable energy, furniture, and services.

Among the new features were the GustaFiera area dedicated to the flavors of Southern Italy — with panzerotti, pasta all'assassina, granitas, Sicilian cannoli, cured meats, cheeses, and craft beers — and the GalaDigiTalks series of meetings, conceived by Nicolò Andreula, on themes of innovation, development, and sustainable tourism (June 27 and 30). The organization was managed by Pubblivela S.r.l. The fair, with free admission, was open every evening from 6:00 PM to 12:00 AM.
