This long-running craft fair features nearly 200 vendors: they set up their stalls on Plaza San Martín and along Diagonal Pueyrredón to sell everything from mate gourds and knives to sweaters and silverwork. The fair happens daily (and starts in the evening) during the summer; outside the peak season, it only runs on Saturday and Sunday.
