Thirty casetas of certified craftspeople at the foot of the cathedral

In 2025 the fair brought together 30 wooden casetas on the Plaza de la Reina, in front of Valencia cathedral. All exhibitors must hold the craft qualification certificate: the fair sells handmade objects only. It is organised by Arteval, the craftspeople’s association, with Valencia city council, the Conselleria d’Economia Sostenible and the Centre d’Artesania. The fair celebrated its twenty-fourth edition in 2025, which dates the first one to 2002.
