12th Fira Mediterrania de Manresa is a trade fair for new artistic creations inspired by Catalan and Mediterranean traditions or those from other parts of the world.

Attracted by this programme, around 800 international delegates sign up for Mediterrània each year. Thanks to this professional exchange, other objectives are achieved:

* Provide incentives for the creation of new quality artistic productions and present them to a wider audience
* Internationalise artistic productions developed in Mediterranean area
* Provide a showcase and main exhibition point for the roots, folk and world music
* Act as a meeting place for delegates
* Create a forum for cultural exchange between the different nations and regions of the Mediterranean.

Fira Mediterrània de Manresa is organized by Catalan national government and Manresa Council.
