HAROMAS kicks off its second season with 37 exhibitors and an experiential focus on products from La Rioja.
The first Sunday of every month.

The HAROMAS Market returns on Sunday 5th to Plaza de la Paz for its second season, having been very well received by the agri-food and craft sectors, and establishing itself as a leading venue for promoting local produce, crafts and the food and wine experience in La Rioja.

This new edition of the market will feature a total of 37 confirmed exhibitors, offering a diverse, representative and high-quality selection.

The opening day will take place on Easter Sunday in Haro’s Plaza de la Paz, under the theme ‘HAROMAS de Primavera: flowers, wild mushrooms and cultivated mushrooms’ – an initiative that brings together local produce, the region and the seasons, reinforcing the market’s position as a dynamic, contemporary space closely linked to the identity of La Rioja.

A growing market that fosters a sense of community

HAROMAS continues to evolve as a platform that raises the profile of producers and artisans, promoting locally sourced produce and a direct connection with the public. The sector’s active participation reflects not only the market’s growth, but also its ability to invigorate the local area and foster a sense of community around local produce.

As the central theme of this edition, HAROMAS focuses on one of La Rioja’s most representative products: cultivated mushrooms and wild mushrooms.

To this end, it will be working in partnership with ASOCHAMP, a key organisation in the sector’s development, which will play an active role in the programme with an informative talk given by its president, Rebeca Lavega, introducing the public to the properties, uses and culinary value of this product.
