Diada de l'Arrossejat (Arrossejat Day)
The Diada de l'Arrossejat is an already traditional festival in l'Ametlla de Mar. It is held in the second week of October and is one of the best-known gastronomic festivals in the Terres de l'Ebre. Its main aim is to promote local cuisine, characterised by dishes made with the fresh fish and seafood caught by l'Ametlla de Mar's own fishing fleet.

Cooking experts say that the fish and seafood of l'Ametlla de Mar have unique nuances and flavours, thanks to the proximity of the Ebro Delta and the wealth of nutrients that comes from the meeting of the river's fresh water with the salt water of the Mediterranean.
The Diada de l'Arrossejat also aims to involve the local population in tourism promotion while keeping traditions alive and promoting gastronomic products. This now popular festival is part of the Jornades Gastronòmiques del Peix de Llotja (Auction Fish Gastronomic Days) of l'Ametlla de Mar, held every year around October.
