Bissau Craft Market Festival

Bissau's craft market scene runs on two tracks: a periodic Feira de Artesanato staged at Pindjiguiti Square, now reaching at least a second documented edition, and the ongoing Coqueiros artisan market, where the Supercamarimba Group hosts traditional griot music sessions every Sunday afternoon of the year.

Bissau's craft market tradition centers most concretely on the Feira de Artesanato, a documented crafts fair that has reached at least a second edition staged at Pindjiguiti Square, the same historic dockside plaza associated with the 1959 massacre commemorated elsewhere in the country's calendar, where artisans set up stalls to exhibit and sell woodwork, textiles and other handmade goods directly to visitors and residents.
