FIA Lisboa Lisbon

Since its inception in 1987, FIA Lisboa – the International Handicrafts Fair – has been the most prominent event of its kind on the Iberian Peninsula and ranks as the second largest in Europe. This vibrant and diverse fair takes place annually at the Feira Internacional de Lisboa (FIL), a modern and easily accessible venue near the River Tagus, well-connected by public transport, roads, and cycling paths.

Organized by the Fundação AIP, a respected institution dedicated to promoting traditional crafts and cultural exchange both in Portugal and internationally, FIA Lisboa serves as both a trade and public fair. It welcomes professionals, collectors, craft enthusiasts, and the general public alike.

The fair stands out for its unique blend of traditional and contemporary craftsmanship, showcasing creative works and products in areas such as ceramics, textiles, jewelry, and woodworking. In addition to a wide range of high-quality handmade goods, FIA Lisboa features extensive culinary zones where visitors can discover and enjoy delicacies from around the world.

A highlight of the event is the annual Guest Country, invited to showcase its cultural richness and distinctive artisanal techniques. The fair is further enhanced by a lively cultural program featuring music, dance, and theatrical performances. Visitors can also take part in a variety of workshops, live demonstrations, and lectures, offering hands-on opportunities to learn traditional skills directly from experienced artisans.

More than just a commercial gathering, FIA Lisboa is a dynamic platform for cultural interaction and exchange. Every year, it brings together artisans, industry professionals, and enthusiastic visitors from around the globe to celebrate cultural heritage, creative talent, and emerging trends in global craftsmanship.

The FIA Lisboa in Lisbon took place from Saturday, 28. June to Sunday, 06. July 2025.
