ADS Regional Product Fairs will return after Carnival in Manaus

Manaus (AM) — The regional product fairs, promoted by the Government of Amazonas and run by the Amazonas Sustainable Development Agency (ADS), will take a break during the carnival days. The editions, which normally take place in the parking lots of Manaus Plaza Shopping, Sumaúma Park Shopping and Shopping Ponta Negra, will not be held on Carnival Tuesday and Ash Wednesday.

According to Ray Hilton Lima, fair manager at ADS, during Carnival, the movement of people is scarce and affects the sale of regional foods.

“The reason for this interruption is the low flow of people on these specific days, directly impacting regional producers”,

explained the manager.

The fair editions will return to their normal activities from Thursday (15/02).

“It is important that consumers pay attention to the schedule to take advantage of the fresh and healthy products offered at ADS fairs”, highlighted Ray Hilton.
