National Mediterranean Artichoke and Produce Fair

The 2025 edition of the National Mediterranean Artichoke and Produce Fair, the 65th, was held from November 13 to 16, 2025, at the Via Gramsci exhibition area in San Ferdinando di Puglia, in the province of Barletta-Andria-Trani.

The event featured a completely renewed format: for the first time, exhibitors from the agricultural sector were housed in a real closed pavilion, with booths dedicated to local companies. The fairgrounds were divided into several thematic zones, including an exhibition pavilion, a commercial zone, an agricultural machinery display, an events area with a central stage, and a family zone with a funfair and Candy Village.

Great emphasis was placed on food and wine with the "Mangia in Fiera" project, which allowed visitors to have lunch and dinner at the fair with street food available every evening and wine tastings from Apulian wineries. At the center, as always, were the artichoke and other local horticultural excellences, from peaches to apricots, confirming the deep bond between the fair and the agricultural economy of San Ferdinando di Puglia.
