Several hundred sellers gather in the square to offer their antique items and artwork, some of which are very valuable. Some pieces of furniture sold there come from colonial castles, and paintings, musical instruments, jewelry and other interesting wares are also on sale there.
The fair is so successful, that retailers have to display their merchandise in some of the neighboring streets as well. Street musicians, artists and dancers also frequent the square to entertain passers-by.
