The fair showcases works from 21 areas of arts and crafts. These include ceramics, candle-making, fabric decoration, felt, printing and engraving, soaps, jewellery, leather goods, dolls, miniatures, paper and cardboard crafts, pyrography and glass art. The range is complemented by traditional crafts such as the making of musical instruments, pottery, joinery and the artisanal production of cigars. All exhibitors bring their own creations and hold the arts and crafts certificate issued by the Cabildo. They were selected through a call for entries, in which the professionalism of their work was assessed.
The fair takes place in 31 individual tents, each measuring nine square metres. Thirty of these belong to the exhibitors, whilst one belongs to the Empresa Insular de Artesanía, which organises the fair. There is an information point, and card payments are accepted at the stalls.
The opening is on Friday 13 November at 10:00, with the official tour by the authorities at 12 noon. By holding the fair in one of the island's main holiday areas, the Island Council aims to raise awareness of local produce amongst both residents and holidaymakers. This marks the 15th edition of the fair.
