The Benedito Calixto fair is a much-loved weekly market held each Saturday in the Pinheiros district, where local artisans, antique dealers and craftspeople gather in a leafy square. Stalls overflow with handicrafts, vintage finds, art, jewellery and bric-a-brac, while live chorinho music and food stalls add to the festive atmosphere. Buying directly from local makers and traders supports the community and offers a wonderful, sustainable alternative to the malls, along with a genuine slice of Paulistano weekend life.
