Virtual Artisan Village
Tibi (Alicante)
24, 25 and 26 October
Original Arts and Crafts Fair
This year, the sixth time we may organise this fair, we'll be setting up our stalls in the La Glorieta square.
Not only will we be in a new location, but we'll also have several new stalls and offer many craft demonstrations, as well as children's workshops and an area with board games.
We count again on the participation of neighbours and local businesses from this charming village.
We open on Friday from 5 till 10 pm; Saturday and Sunday poening times are from 11 am till 2 pm and from 5 till 10 pm, although on Sunday we close a little earlier.
