Sao Paulo
A few weeks before Christmas, São Paulo hosts a series of fairs focusing on original design, artisanal gastronomy and independent production, which can be alternatives to buying gifts.
Spread across different neighbourhoods, these events bring together local creatives, offer special end-of-the-year collections and offer cultural activities. Below, see a selection of seven Christmas fairs in the city.
