dancing and singing from many countries, imported products at affordable prices, regional produce from all around the country, and many other attractions keep the rio de janeiro crowd expectant for what the fair might bring on each edition.

cadeg is a great municipal market located in rio's north zone neighborhood of benfica - it is an acronym for centro de abastecimento do estado de guanabara, which means supply center of the state of guanabara, and it is a 24-hour warehouse home to some of the best culinary delights in rio de janeiro every day of the week.

cariocas praise the market as for being its gourmet cheese galore, and for its fresh fruit and vegetables, premium cuts of meats, fruit of the sea such as codfish, and bakeries with assorted sweets & desserts - travelling to the north zone is definitely worth the trip because such great products are reasonably priced, one might even call pricing a steal.
