Together with FiràTarrega (the international market for performing arts), Mercat de Música Viva de Vic (Vic live music market), the Sismòfraf d'Olot, the Mostra d'Igualada and the Fira Trapezi, the Fira Mediterrània completes the Generalitat (Regional Government) of Catalonia's map of artistic marketplaces in Catalonia.
Fira is an interdisciplinary event and the programme covers all artistic languages – visual arts, circus, dance, exhibitions, music, storytelling and theatre.
The programmed shows are in different formats - small, medium or large-scale - in venues or in the street, aimed both at adult and at family audiences.
It promotes discussion on new and emerging opportunities from an international perspective, based on themes that include, among others, the relationship between tradition and performing arts, the community, participation, and the benefits to society stemming from cultural initiatives.
Fira Mediterrània Manresa-Catalonia is made possible through the Generalitat of Catalonia's Culture Department and Manresa City Council, which comprise the organising foundation.
