La Feria de Artesanos in the Plaza Francia, actually located in the Plaza Intendente Torcuato de Alvear, began in 1970 when a group of hippies started selling their products in front of what is now the Centro Cultural Recoleta.
The fair sells only original work, usually produced by the stallholders themselves, including items made from ceramics, leather, wood, metal and wool.
The fair is located close to Recoleta Cemetery, Buenos Aires Design and the Museo de Bellas Artes. It's held on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, 11.00am - 8.00pm.
