You must walk around on the “Feirinha do Largo da Ordem” if you are in Curitiba on a Sunday morning. It’s located at the Historic Center of the city and there you will find everything: crafts, household items, antiques, books, clothes, toys, typical souvenirs, paintings, antique cars and plants. It’s hard to leave the fair without buy at least one gift.

Begun in 1971, when it was called as Hippie Fair or Flea Market by many people, the fair has grown and expanded. It ceased to be restricted to Garibaldi Square and the Flower Clock and went to the surroundings. The fair became a tradition.

Currently, there are about 1,300 merchants spread over several blocks. In addition to the purchases, visitors can check out performances by local artists and taste some regional delicacies and dishes from other locations.
