The Red Tuna Festival is a gastronomic celebration held at the port of L’Ametlla de Mar, specifically in the port area, with free entry for all visitors. This event has become an essential gathering for food lovers and for those interested in learning more about one of the municipality’s most emblematic products: red tuna.

During the festival, attendees can enjoy a wide variety of activities centered around red tuna. The program includes tastings of different preparations, ranging from traditional dishes to innovative proposals, such as sashimi, tartar, maki, nigiri, or tuna with romesco sauce. In addition, “tuna-cooking” sessions are held with local chefs and restaurateurs, demonstrating culinary techniques and creative ways to prepare this high-quality product.

Besides gastronomy, the festival offers a festive atmosphere with live music and DJ performances that enliven the days. On Saturday, activities run throughout the day, combining concerts, tastings, and leisure activities for all ages, while Sunday’s events are mainly in the morning, with new tastings and live music performances.

One of the standout attractions is the Tuna Tour, which allows visitors to discover the world of red tuna up close: its fishing process, preparation, and quality standards that make this fish so highly regarded nationally and internationally.

The Red Tuna Festival is not only an opportunity to enjoy a unique gastronomic experience but also serves as a platform to promote local cuisine and showcase a product that is a true symbol of the municipality. The event helps boost tourism and the local economy, attracting thousands of people each year who come to taste the port’s culinary delights and discover the charm of L’Ametlla de Mar.
