Lo de Marcos, Nayarit, Mexico - On Saturday, November 7, 2015, The Tianguis Lo de Marcos will reopen its doors for its second season, and it promises to offer Vallarta-Nayarit locals and visitors lots of pleasures and loads of treasures!

The tradition of buying and selling in temporary markets set up either on a regular basis (weekly, monthly, etc.) is a strong feature in much of Mexican culture and has a history that extends far back into the pre-Hispanic period. It was the most important form of commerce in the pre-Hispanic era, and after the Spanish Conquest, the Europeans mostly kept this tradition intact. For more on the history of Tianguis, click HERE.

In keeping with tradition, the Tianguis Lo De Marcos is set in a lovely courtyard and offers a comfortable outdoor shopping experience with many unique vendors along with great food, live music, and lots of fun!

Imagine being able to buy such items as home made cookies, custom made piñatas, hand blown glass, clothing, unique artisan items, garden fresh produce, freshly baked delicacies and more, all in one place - Lo De Marcos, a beautiful little coastal town on the Riviera Nayarit, just north of Puerto Vallarta.

The Tianguis is the brainchild of Armando Contreras of Galvan Real Estate and Services, the town's full service real estate and rental agency. "I live in Lo De Marcos and can attest first-hand to our community's need to support our residents, farmers and craftspeople through this venue. At the same time, the Tianguis brings items in to town that are not available locally," remarked Armando.

"This Season we will see the addition of more live music performances and a redesigned food court area with great food," Armando, who is also the event's organizer, added.

"Tianguis Lo de Marcos instills a sense of pride to our community and we are proud to see people from all over the municipality come and visit every weekend. We are excited to see it return for the fall-winter seasons," stated the Delegate for Lo De Marcos, Alonso Bravo.

Held each Saturday from 9:00 am until 2:00 pm, this weekly event expects to continue its growth and history of drawing visitors from around Banderas Bay to Lo de Marcos in beautiful Riviera Nayarit.
