Haría Ayuntamiento is launching a brand-new event this weekend dedicated to veganism and eco-conscious living. The first edition of the EcoHaría Vegana fair will take place this Sunday, 16 November, in the Plaza de Haría from 10:00 to 19:00.
Designed to promote healthy habits for all ages, the fair will feature a full day of activities, workshops, and live musical performances.
Mayor Alfredo Villalba highlighted the fair’s broader community goals. He stated that the activity will be an opportunity to bring the municipality’s residents closer to “the promotion, enhancement, and revitalisation of social well-being.” He also stressed that this is a “very interesting” way to foster “greater commitment among the population to more beneficial procedures and ideas for building healthier environments in our municipality.”
Councillor for Commerce, Nuria Acuña, outlined the family-friendly nature of the event. “The Ayuntamiento would like to thank all the people and collaborators who make this initiative possible, and we encourage everyone to enjoy this EcoHaría Vegana to the fullest,” she said.
The fair is supported by the Government of the Canary Islands and Dinamiza Rural Volcanic Xperience.
