In the words of the Mayor of Lagoa, Luís Encarnação, the 2026 program "demonstrates the ambition and quality we want to offer." "FATACIL is the biggest event in our municipality and a driving force for economic, cultural, and tourism development," the mayor emphasised.

Since its start in 1980, FATACIL has grown into the largest trade fair for economic activities in Southern Portugal, offering exhibitions in Agriculture, Commerce, Industry, Crafts, Gastronomy, and a range of cultural and entertainment activities, including concerts and traditional performances, as noted on its official website.
