The artisan Fair 2018 is the highly anticipated event dedicated to the world of crafts that is repeated every year and which is hosted in the Rho-Pero exhibition center. The event is dedicated to the world of DIY and craftsmanship and embraces every field: from textiles to costume jewelry, through to home furnishing and collecting. During the nine days of the fair you will not only be able to see the crafts but you will be able to taste typical cuisines of various nations and entertain yourself with dances, concerts or even courses and seminars, which will range from the world of cooking to that of crafts, embracing the tradition of far off cultures.

There’s not long to wait until the Artisan Fair 2018, the Italian craft fair that embraces products from all over the world (and of all kinds!). The event will be held in December, at the beginning of the month; it will last nine days and will allow visitors to see, touch and buy craft products made by both famous and emerging artists coming from all corners of the globe. The perfect opportunity to visit Milan during the holiday season and take the opportunity to buy some Christmas presents. The fair is open to everyone and, like every year, is not only an exhibition but also a space for gathering, entertainment and gastronomic tasting.

Artisan Fair 2018: events and stands
The Artisan Fair 2018 will not only be an event for shopping lovers but also and above all a way to enjoy the cold winter days. For the occasion, there will be a myriad of live events (including concerts, dances, cooking classes and seminars dedicated to the world of DIY). There will be a children’s area, where you will be able to leave the children to have fun with the staff during your visit of the fair, and an endless series of refreshment spots. Recipes from around the world will delight the taste buds of visitors, allowing them to make a real tour “round the world in nine days”, including typical dishes, demonstrations of local music and crafts.
What else to see in Milan during the Artisan Fair?
Milan during the Christmas holidays is even more beautiful than the rest of the year. Visiting the 2018 craft fair can also be a good opportunity to explore it better. We certainly recommend going to see the great traditional sights: the Christmas tree of the gallery, next to Piazza Duomo; the festively decorated canals, the Christmas markets and the bright streets of the center. Corso Buenos Aires is definitely the favorite destination for shoppers, but it is also impossible to miss the offers of the Milano City Life shopping mall, in the city center, and the shopping center of Arese, one of the largest in Europe, in the immediate outskirt of the town and easily reachable in a few minutes thanks to the efficient public transport.
