Virtual Artisan Village
Rivas Vaciamadrid (Madrid)
from 15 till 19 May 2024
Arts and Crafts Fair
It will be the twelfth time that this fair will be held, with more than 60 stalls and a large participation of local associations.
The fair is known for the originality and high level of craftsmanship, the quality of the parades and the extensive gastronomy areas, in addition to the popular meals that are prepared in the park. This year there will again be a great number of craft demonstrations: forging, loom weaving, wood turning, drafting horn and bone, fire enamelling, hand sewing leather, preparing arrope (a Valencian delicacy) and shoemaking, as well as workshops in pottery and stone carving.
For the children there will be merry-go-rounds, soap bubble shows and table games.
