About this trap
Some guides still list Largo do Rosário as the home of Campinas' Feira Hippie, but the fair now sets up at the Centro de Convivência, on Praça Imprensa Fluminense in Cambuí. Many stalls sell crafts, ceramics, antiques and street food, and the fair holds state cultural heritage status. Go on a Sunday morning, confirm the hours with the organizers before leaving, and bring small bills for the stalls.
