with free entry on both days, and will bring together entrepreneurs from Pará who produce handicrafts, ceramics and fashion pieces, as well as products from the rich
gastronomy of Pará.

In this first edition of the year, we will be showcasing products from a wide range of segments at the creative economy fair,” highlights Rubens Magno, managing director of Sebrae/PA.

“It's my first time at MECA, so I'll be bringing dolls made of amigurumi (knitting or crochet) based on Amazonian legends like curupira, but I'll also be presenting micro crochet pieces to the public, which will be accessories like earrings and bracelets,” says artisan Silvia Valente.
Musical Soiree As in previous editions, MECA aims to bring entrepreneurship and music to the public of Pará. On Thursday (20), Arthur Spíndola hosted a talk show with musicians from the pagode band Nosso Tom from Pará. This Friday (21), Arthur will welcome singer Beto Guedes to the stage, also starting at 8 pm, where he will interact with the artist and recall great successes on stage. In addition to the attractions in the theater, MECA will also have outdoor music, with free performances in the square of Parque da Residência, with Juliana Sinimbu this Friday, starting at 5:30 pm.
“It is an opportunity for merchants to sell during a cultural event. And this is great, as it brings the public closer to brands and ideas from Pará and encourages these
microentrepreneurs in Pará to not only sell, but to promote their products, strengthen their brands and expand their network of contacts”, he observes
Arthur Espíndola, one of the event's creators.
