As I've been sharing the portraits I've taken of strangers, I wanted to give you a little context about the fair so you can understand the scale of the event.
On the first day of the fair, there's a parade. It's really common to see the streets absolutely packed with people. I took these photos from a distance when I was just arriving:

Here i was already on the main street here, as you can see, there were tons of people!

There's so much to do at the fair. There's beer sold literally everywhere on the street, people selling souvenirs and all kinds of deals. The government sets up several stages with live performances to entertain people. There are also the typical fairground rides. In short, there's a lot to do, and I'll be showing you everything soon.
Personally, I always go to a place called the exhibition pavilions. They sell all kinds of things, and that's where my friends are. It's also a safe place to go with my camera because there's a lot of security.
This place called the pavilions is also packed with people. Let me show you:

You'll see one very common element in all the photos: hats. It's common for people to come to the fair wearing hats...

People come as families to these exhibition stands to see what they can find and look for deals because they sell all kinds of things here. For businesses, it's a great opportunity to showcase their company to the public from all over the city.

Now you can better understand how, with such a massive influx of people, I take this opportunity to go with my cameras to do my dynamic of photographing strangers. And since many of the people come well-dressed, most are very open to being photographed!

Only a couple of days have passed, and I already have hundreds of photos to show you. I hope you like them as much as I do!
