In an initiative promoted by the Municipality of Silves, the 7th Mostra Silves Capital da Laranja will take place on the 10th, 11th and 12th of February, highlighting citrus growing in the municipality and the various economic agents linked to the sector. Sara Correia, José Cid and Mimo´s Orchestral Experience with Banda da Sociedade Filarmónica Silvense are the headliners of this edition, which will take place in the riverside area next to FISSUL.
The event will have its official opening at 10:30 am. In addition to the citriculture area, dozens of exhibitors linked to wines, agriculture, regional products, sweets, handicrafts, gastronomy, associations and local and regional institutions will be present.
The Orange XXI Conference (where specialists will discuss central themes for citrus fruit production and producers), the “International Orange Cocktails Festival 2023” in the After Dinner and Flairbartending modalities, the children’s musical animation by João Violão and the well-known Valentine’s March , a sporting activity that is part of the Algarve walking and running calendar, are other highlights of the event.
It should be remembered that highlighting citrus growing, its producers and the subjects that matter for the improvement of this sector is the main objective of the Mostra Silves Capital da Laranja, which had its first edition in February 2017.
