Honey Market 2024

The Honey Market returns to the renovated Santa Maria da Feira Municipal Market on December 20, 21 and 22.
After a long break, the Honey Market is back in Santa Maria da Feira, and this year it will take place in a special space: the recently renovated Municipal Market. On December 20, 21 and 22, 2024, this celebration of beekeeping promises to involve the community and visitors in a weekend full of tradition, culture and local knowledge.

This iconic event, which once marked the region’s cultural calendar, returns with a comprehensive and interactive program. The public will be able to enjoy exhibitions dedicated to honey production and beekeeping, as well as live demonstrations showing the honey production process from the hives to the table. At the same time, there will be training sessions for those who want to deepen their knowledge or even get started in beekeeping,
led by experts and beekeepers from the region.

The initiative aims not only to revive a local tradition, but also to highlight the importance of beekeeping for environmental sustainability and the local economy. The Honey Market will also feature cultural events that promise to liven up the space, such as musical presentations and performances that pay homage to Santa Maria da Feira’s cultural heritage.

The return of the Honey Market to the calendar of events, now in the renovated Municipal Market, reflects the municipality’s commitment to keeping local traditions alive and supporting the region’s producers, creating a meeting point between history, innovation and community conviviality.
