THE PLACE IN RIO FOR FOOD, MUSIC AND GOODS FROM THE NORTH
From Lonely Planet:
This enormous fair (32,000 sq meters with over 600 stalls) is not to
be missed.
It showcases the culture from the northeast, with barracas
(food stalls) selling Bahian dishes as well as beer and cachaça (cane
liquor), which flows in great abundance here.
The best time to go is on
the weekend, when you can catch live bands playing forró, plus samba
groups and comedy troupes, MPB (Música Popular Brasileria) and rodas de
capoeira (capoeira circles).
The vibrant scene runs nonstop from
Friday morning through to Sunday evening.
In addition to food and drink,
you can browse music CDs (forró , of course), hammocks and a wide
assortment of handicrafts
