Second artisan fair to be held in Senglea

Following the success of the first artisan fair held in Vittoriosa last May, organisers are in full swingto prepare for the second edition, taking place in Senglea onSaturday.

The Malta Artisan Markets fair aims to assist small-scale producers and artists while encouragingthe participation of enterprising individuals.

This will be the second event of what organisers hope will become a regular feature in Malta, giving both locals and foreigners the opportunity to buy authentic locally-made products, direct from food producers, artists and craftspeople.

Visitors and shoppers attending the fair will have the opportunity to taste a variety of local delicacies, meet the food producers, and also shop for unique arts and crafts.

The fair also caters for the younger generation. In the evening, children will be able to get creative in the purposely-designated arts and crafts area.

The market aims to serve as Malta’s only authentically local market allowing visitors to taste the food on site and take home fine food while also serving as an excellent showcase and selling point for local artists and craftspeople who are creating unique pieces.
