The story

Nauryz Artisans Fair Almaty in Almaty

A seasonal handicraft market held around Almaty's Nauryz holiday, offering felt goods, ceramics, jewelry, textiles, and ethno-souvenirs from Kazakh, Kyrgyz, and Uzbek artisans. Concerts, hands-on painting and pottery sessions, and traditional music performances run alongside the stalls, drawing both gift-buying locals and curious international tourists each spring.

Felt hats, hand-thrown ceramics, embroidered textiles, and silverwork spread across folding tables and tented stalls each spring as part of the Nauryz Bazaar, Almaty's seasonal craft fair timed to the city's biggest holiday.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The Nauryz Bazaar overlaps with Almaty's year-round Zhibek Zholy artisans' market rather than replacing it, giving visitors a chance to see standing craft vendors joined by seasonal sellers during the holiday's highest foot-traffic window

02

The mystery stays covered

Its emphasis on hands-on activities (try-it-yourself painting and pottery) sets it apart from purely browse-and-buy craft fairs, giving the fair an interactive, workshop-like character that many purely commercial holiday markets do not offer to casual weekend visitors
