many of rio's street fairs are artisan markets that feature beautifully handcrafted wares and souvenirs - in copacabana near beach post 5, there is a market every night of the week from approximately 6pm until midnight and it is the second most popular market in rio where massive canvases of unique artwork and other creations by local artists can be purchased.

the most famous market in rio de janeiro, especially amongst visitors, is the feira hippie de ipanema, showcasing arts and crafts of increasingly higher quality, sophistication, and price - located in the square right outside of the general osório metrô station in ipanema, this particular festival has taken place every single sunday for the last five decades, from 7am-7pm, rain or shine.
