Although you won’t find any long-haired bohemians with love beads here, the Hippie Fair is an institution in Rio. Held every Sunday, year-round. Its artisans used to be local but now come from all over the country to display their paintings, ceramics, colorful wood carvings, hand-tooled leather belts and sandals and inexpensive but very attractive jewelry. The items change constantly. The displays have outgrown the plaza so there are wares on the sidewalk as well.
