Centuries-old fair of Sant Bartomeu, also known as the Fira del Meló, held on the second-to-last weekend of August in Artesa de Segre. It took its second name because melons were for a long time its leading product, though this has lost weight as the cultivation of the fruit has declined in the comarca. Today it brings together displays of agricultural and livestock products, a vehicle exhibition and tastings of local produce, along with the sporting, musical and popular-culture activities typical of a patron saint's festival.
