The village has a long tradition of fishing for anchovies and each year this is celebrated with the Anchovy Festival Collioure. At one point during the early part of the last century, fishing was the most important industry in the area. Anchovies are still fished and cured in Collioure.
For 2017 the festival will take place on the 3rd of June, in the square opposite the Office de Tourisme.
