Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - There are only 2 more shopping Saturdays this season as the market is closing on May 17th! So grab your eco-friendly bags and scoop up all your favorite "make it, bake it, grow it" products. From custom-made clothing to freshly baked breads and cookies, we're doing it up right as we wrap up our 5th and most successful season.
Here are just some of this season's highlights:
The Young Entrepreneurs Program - This new program celebrates the entrepreneurial spirit of youths between 10 and 16 years of age. Our first program member - and the one to cut our opening day ribbon - is 12-year-old Mireya Amaral Uribe. She designs and sews her own clothing line - Poder de Niña/Girl Power - for girls and their 18-inch dolls. Joining Mireya as team support was her older brother Abraham. But it didn't take long before he caught the spirit too. Seeing a niche in the market, Abraham began making and selling doll furniture. His company is Casa de Muñeca/The Doll House. (Both businesses are open year-round for custom orders.)
A Rockin' Season - This season shoppers were "eatin' to the beat" with lip-smackin' international favorites and toe-tappin' tunes from national and international musicians. And this Saturday, we're doing it all over again.
Impassioned by responsible food production, entrepreneurial development and the "buy local" movement, our OTFM-TC is a North American style market celebrating the tradition of Mexico's tianguis markets.
Located in Lazaro Cárdenas Park, kitty-corner to Daiquiri Dick's 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 May 17, 2014. For only $10 pesos an hour, you can park in the garage directly beneath the plaza. Or you can take a taxi or public bus, which stops along Pino Suarez Street, just steps from the Market.
