FIRA DE LA AIXADA, is the medieval market of MANRESA! A fair that wants to transport you back to the 18th century to rediscover the spaces and characters of the moment.

The Feast of Light, which is celebrated on February 21, recalls the mystery that, now 650 years ago, a light coming from Montserrat entered the church of El Carme. In this way, the conflict that had interrupted the construction of the Acequia de Manresa was resolved.

Water and light are the symbols of this festival that, in recent years, has been renovated in an impressive way with the organization of the Fair of the Hoe. In this celebration, which is celebrated on Saturday and Sunday around the Fiesta de la Luz, the old quarter of Manresa is filled with craftsmen, masters of ancient trades that demonstrate their arts and other elements and attractions of the medieval repertoire.
