What the fair is
The Fira del Dolç Artesà, Peladilles i Torrons in Casinos is an outdoor fair dedicated to the typical Christmas sweets crafted by the town's master artisans. Set up on Avenida de València in Casinos, it combines stalls selling sugared almonds, nougats, and other sweets with a three-day programme of activities. According to the organisers, artisans introduce new products each year without compromising the quality and craftsmanship that define Casinos' sweets.

The Fira del Dolç Artesà kicks off on Friday 27 at 18:30 with the inauguration on the main stage. The published programme includes, on the opening day, a performance by the group Versatifet (Albades), the lighting of the Christmas tree, a fireworks display by Pirotècnia Camp de Túria, and a concert by Poble Band.
On Saturday 28, activities begin at 09:30 with the 10K race, followed by an aeromodelling exhibition, the Món Infantil space, a children's race, an acrobatic motorcycle display with Edu Rodríguez, a parade by the youth band of Unió Musical Casinense, and, in the evening, tribute concerts by Breakthru (Queen) and Carne de Cañón (pop rock).
On Sunday 29, the fairgrounds open at 09:00, featuring Món Infantil, a display of classic cars and Vespas, educational workshops, a nougat-making workshop for children by La Casinera, and the Matarantas batucada.
