Feira de Caruaru

Feira de Caruaru is a large open-air market spreading across several city blocks with hundreds of vendor stalls offering regional products, handmade crafts, textiles, and local foods. Different product types are arranged in separate sections, making it straightforward to navigate and find what you need.

The market began in the mid-1800s as a small trading post in this region. Over time it grew into one of the largest open-air commercial centers in Latin America.

The market serves as a meeting place where local artisans openly display their skills in ceramics, woodcarving, and leatherwork. Visitors can watch these traditional crafts being made and understand how knowledge passes naturally between generations.

Visit early in the morning when the selection is largest and the space is less crowded. Centrally located parking is available, and different sections are marked with signs to help you find your way around.

During the June São João festival, the market transforms into a celebration space with traditional music and special corn-based foods found only during this season. This festival tradition draws people who do not want to miss this regional food experience and cultural celebration.
