Market by the Sea

Keeping the tradition, the Market by the Sea fair is back again with even more residents and craftspeople selling all kinds of unique artisan goods, from clothing and jewelry to ceramics, handmade gifts, and more. The fair promises to be extremely diverse and eventful. There will be insightful lectures, handy workshops, culinary delicacies, and DJs. And this far from the only fair this weekend – if you’re looking for something else or would like to visit more than just one festival, head straight to the St. Petersburg Fair or the Intelligent Flea Market
