The Caxixis Fair 2026, one of Brazil's largest outdoor craft exhibitions, is scheduled for April 2 to 5 in Nazaré, Bahia, coinciding with the Holy Week holiday. This event is renowned as the oldest ceramics exhibition in the country and has become an attraction for thousands of visitors, significantly boosting the local economy through commerce and hotel occupancy. The fair is expected to surpass the 100,000 attendees recorded in the previous edition, indicating its growing popularity.

Throughout the four-day event, a wide array of caxixis—ceramic pieces that range from decorative to utilitarian objects such as pots and lamps—will be showcased and sold in the public squares of Dr. Alexandre Bittencourt and Cel. José Bittencourt. Local artisans play a crucial role in the fair, highlighting their skills and craftsmanship, which are vital to the preservation of traditional techniques and culture. The district of Maragogipinho, part of the municipality, is particularly noted for its strong production of these ceramic items, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the region.

In addition to the artisan showcases, the fair will also feature performances by popular artists, including Tony Salles and Edson Gomes, which adds an entertainment aspect to the event. This combination of culture, commerce, and entertainment makes the Caxixis Fair a significant event on the regional calendar and an important opportunity for both artisans and visitors to engage with Bahia's artistic traditions and local economy.
