Feira Hippie (Sunday Arts & Crafts Fair)
Feira de Artes, Artesanato e Produtores de Variedades
A giant handicraft market held every Sunday on Avenida Afonso Pena, with thousands of stalls selling clothing, leather goods, crafts, and street food.
The Feira Hippie began as an artists' gathering in 1969. Today it fills several blocks of Avenida Afonso Pena in the city center every Sunday, with about 2,000 stalls. It is one of the largest open-air markets in Latin America. You can buy leather shoes and bags, handmade jewelry, wood carvings, soapstone vessels, and children's clothing. The food area serves pão de queijo, corn cakes, and freshly squeezed juice. The market opens around 7:00 and winds down around 14:00. It gets very crowded, so keep an eye on your phone and wallet.
