Abstract

Solidarity economy fairs are extremely important, because they are capable of generating social, cultural and economic inclusion, as well as strengthening the income of the families involved and the Local Economy. With the fair in the city of Logradouro-PB it is no different, it is capable of generating income for the city and for families who, mainly, depend solely on the income generated by sales in the city. Therefore, this research performs a case study at the free fair in the city of Logradouro PB in order to verify the characteristics of the solidarity economy present in it. To this end, a questionnaire was applied in person to twenty-six marketers, and the main results of the same show that the majority of the marketers are from neighboring cities and do not have family help in banking, which shows that the characteristics of the solidarity economy are disappearing compared to the results of other studies. This point reinforces the need for public policies that strengthen such characteristics, such as financial assistance and incentives for the formation of associations.
