We chose not to identify the interviewees, numbering them. we want have subsidies to propose a work in the area of ​​Heritage Education about this fair together with the local community to awaken to the need for awareness of conservation of the fair. In the analysis we can observe the fairs as a historical place of permanence in the midst of so many changes, social, political, cultural and economic,thus constituting a strong cultural and economic manifestation in the Northeast of Brazil,despite the challenges faced in the midst of modernity, where large networks of supermarkets have increasingly offered the products sold at street markets,despite this, they have guaranteed their place of permanence in society. With result of this research we realized that the Feira da Cidade Nova is important for the socioeconomic dynamism of the neighborhood, consequently of the city, maintaining the modality of retail trade, rooted in practices and customs passed through generations. The research revealed the fact of conceiving heritage and museology, which values ​​not only museums, but spaces such as open markets. We hope reflections from this work corroborate the knowledge about the society to which we are inserted, serving as a form of knowledge exchange,histories, cultures, as well as taking positions, because the modality of the free fair isrooted throughout the Brazilian territory, and throughout the world, as an activity that has one of its characteristics, displacement, a factor that enriches the culture.
