Douglas Bernardo
"Local muito precário, aparente improviso, sem pavimento adequado e se for época de chuva, vira lamaceiro. Os trailers de comidas são simples, mas com opções de sanduíches, churrasquinhos e salgados. Não existe estrutura de banheiros ou higiene das mãos. Mini parquinho pra crianças de brinquedos alugados. As barracas de produtos artesanais são bem fracas, porém oferecem opções de lembrancinhas como imãs, chaveiros, artigos para casa e de uso pessoal."
Cintia Gomes
"Feira com bastante lembranças de Maragogi/Alagoas. Recomendo andar e conhecer cada loja, pois os valores mudam. Em especial, para bolsas femininas tem a "Chic Jack" , a qual nos atendeu muito bem, possui bolsas lindas e com ótimos preços."
