Most of the products on sale come from each stall holder's region, where they are produced by small organisations (family businesses, farms, small factories...) using traditional methods, maintaining a high standard of quality.
The traders will wear their traditional costumes, providing a warm atmosphere to this event. Particular attention is given to the stall's decoration and detail; each trader will have a flag from their respective country flying from their stall.
