This weekend, the 9th and 10th, from 10am to 7pm, ParCão Chácara Klabin is hosting another edition of the Feira do Bem. The well-known open-air fair offers an afternoon full of attractions, games, live music, dancing, a food festival, a gourmet grocery store and much more.
In addition, the event offers hourly workshops, many of which are for children to do with their parents. For example, the ‘Create your Kokedama’ workshop and others that are on the official Feira do Bem agenda.
The Fair of Good
Over four years old, Feira do Bem was created by a couple who dream of a better world, Erika Fritschy Atie and Ernest Saraiva Petty.
Through the project’s initiatives, the organizers spread love and kindness, inspiring people of all ages. After all, as Erika points out:
In times of intolerance, we need to take good practices to different corners of the city.”
Spreading Kindness
The program includes fixed attractions already known to regulars. For example, at the “Café da Gentileza” (Coffee of Kindness), you can drink a coffee that you have previously paid for and give something back to others.
At the Water of Kindness, visitors will find biodegradable cups with messages of love and kindness at various points during the event. In other words, when thirsty, visitors have the opportunity to drink some fresh water, check out the message on the glass and be invited to leave a new message on a blank glass.
In addition, the fair is once again promoting the Gratitude Clothesline, where visitors can hang up a piece of paper on which they can write reasons for which they are grateful.
So that no one leaves without trying a new flavor, the fair offers options such as: hamburgers, poke, paella, risottos, pasta, garlic sandwiches, charcuterie, hot dogs, pizzas, crepes, cannoli, Arabic food; as well as drinks, including craft beer and draft beer, and signature drinks.
The program also includes live music, dancing, free workshops and traditional games for children, young people and adults.
Finally, the initiative also seeks to support different social projects, including:
- Guadalupe Klabin Parish Bazaar;
- Friends of Klabin Pets;
- Núcleo Assistencial Bezerra de Menezes – NABEM (social and emotional support);
- Bambart (Mental Health Network project);
- Solidarity with Art (care for homeless people).
