Location

Buildings
State buildings

Most of the buildings were constructed of wood and plaster[6] and were dismantled in 1939,[3] with the Pará state pavilion which was constructed of masonry[6] surviving until being burned in 1970.[3] Most buildings had an Art Deco style,[6] with the Pará pavilion incorporating Marajoara symbols.[7]

Commemoration
A set of four postage stamps were produced to mark the fair.[8]
