The Best Things To Do For Free On A Sunday In Florianpolis

Sundays should be relaxing no matter where you are, but in Florianópolis there’s plenty of places to make the most of this day off. The beaches here are always free, so take advantage of these special, free events that make for a perfectly chill Sunday.

Artisanal craft and food fair

Every Sunday from 3PM-8PM artisans and food vendors gather in the Parque de Coqueiros for a food and craft fair that’s free and open to the public. This fair has included up to 60 vendors, giving it a solid variety of wares and foods to peruse. Some typical options to enjoy are fried crab, gourmet burgers and acarajé, a Brazilian food with roots in West Africa that is essentially beans formed into a ball and deep fried. This fair is an excellent place to experience various aspects of Brazilian culture through its food and art, as well as experience a different side of Florianópolis.
