The Fira Concurs de bestiar d'Andorra is an annual livestock fair and competition held in Andorra la Vella. Local farmers exhibit their cattle, horses and sheep and compete for prizes in up to 32 categories 1 2. It has medieval origins (first documented at least 1402) and was revived in 1979, now celebrated every year on 27 October as a cultural heritage event. 1 3 It showcases national farming traditions and connects the public with Andorra’s agropastoral heritage.
Livestock fairs have been key to the mountain economy of Andorra for centuries, serving both trading and communal functions. The fair reflects the importance of cattle, horse and sheep in Andorran rural life, even as farming has declined. Today it is seen as a cultural festival that reaffirms the country’s pastoral roots 1 2.
