Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - This is it! Puerto Vallarta's favorite weekend attraction - The Old Town Farmers Market-Tianguis Cultural - is just around the corner. This go-to place for "make it, bake it, grow it" products will magically transform the heart of Vallarta into a sea of colors and textures, aromas and flavors. And since we're jumping into our fifth season in a brand new location, we're getting the party started with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Join us on Saturday, November 2, at 9:30 am for all the OTFM-TC opening day festivities. We'll be cutting the ribbon in our new home, Lazaro Cárdenas Park, the beautiful town square located in Vallarta's Emiliano Zapata neighborhood. Enjoy complimentary Xocodiva sipping chocolate and sweet, buttery Pan de Muertos. Then shop the day away from over 80 OTFM-TC producer-only booths.

You'll find that our Market is a fun-filled blend - a North American style market which celebrates the tradition and culture of Mexico's Tianguis markets. Impassioned by the "buy local" movement, entrepreneurial development and responsible food production, our vendors have been hard at work to bring you the best of this year's farmers' market season.

You can find everything from pickled veggies and clay sculptures to painted palms and beach-ready bikinis. And don't forget the ready-to-eat prepared foods, like mouthwatering chocolate, homemade quiche, tamales, preserves, dips, nut butters, artisan breads, salsas and dressings! But it isn't just the delicious edibles and artisan products that attracts an estimated 100,000 visitors each year. We have an array of services available on-site. Rejuvenate your muscles with a healing massage. Learn more about Puerto Vallarta's public library, Biblioteca Los Mangos, or get involved in voluntourism opportunities provided by non-profit organizations.

Of course, you'll always welcome to stop by the Market's information booth. There we'll have our new line of OTFM-TC t-shirts, perfect for "fashionistas" who support the local market community. In fact, if you'd like to become a part of our team - vendors, volunteers or chef demonstrators - we'll have applications on hand.

With so much excitement, you're bound to build up quite the appetite. Head for the eastern side of Lazaro Cárdenas Park where you can find international cuisine ranging from Mexican traditional favorites to tasty Thai edibles. Then "eat to the beat" as the legendary Chris Kenny entertains the town square with her soulful repertoire of cover material and original hits.

And don't forget, our opening day coincides with Puerto Vallarta's Día de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations. Decorated alters, horse demonstrations, fireworks displays, and Mexican food can be found all around town from October 31st - November 2nd.

Come down and join us for an extraordinary market experience. For only $10 pesos an hour, you can park in the garage directly beneath Lazaro Cárdenas Park. Or you can take a taxi or public bus, which stops along Pino Suarez Street, just steps from the Market.

Located kitty-corner to Daiquiri Dick's Restaurant on Olas Atlas, the Old Town Farmers' Market-Tianguis Cultural is open every Saturday from 9:30 am to 2 pm from the first Saturday in November to the last Saturday in May.
