THE HIPPIE FAIR


EVERY SUNDAY IN IPANEMA

A group of hippies started a Sunday market in Ipanema in 1968 and the traditional fair continues with over 700 stalls set up at the Feira Hippie de Ipanema.

Occurring on Sundays only, it is a great place to find authentic Brazilian folk and contemporary art, jewelry, clothing and lots of food.

Plenty of tourists flock to the fair that is extremely popular today - don't miss out!

If you are looking for souvenirs then the fair is the best place to find a good bargain.

Ceramic figurines, embroidery, lace, gemstones – are just afew examples of the great folk arts and crafts you will find at the Ipanema Hippie Fair.

Come rain or sun shine, the fair must go on every Sunday from 9am to 5pm.

The Hippie Fair is held every Sunday at Praça General Osório, a square that takes up an entire city block that is bordered by Rua Prudente de Morais and Rua Visconde de Pirajá.
