Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico - March is National Craft Month in the United States, so this weekend the Puerto Vallarta Old Town Farmers' Market-Tianguis Cultural will be celebrating by showcasing the incredible talents of some of their many 'make it, bake it, grow it' artisans.

Crafty Clothing and Accessories

Travel in style with day and night all-in-one knit fashions by Caroline DelMar Collective and white cotton apparel for him and her by Laura Lopez Labra Designs. Play on the beach in stylish swimwear by TY Bikinis and be sure to pick up a pair of embellished fashion sandals by Begoña Sandalias. Add a burst of color and whimsy to your outfit with an Erica Maree original handbag made from embroidered Oaxaca dresses & tops.

Express Yourself

If you're looking for something special for a loved one, Liliana Arte, Patricia Gawle Ceramic Art and Taller de Batik are happy to help you express your heart through art and décor. And don't forget to pick up a bright and cheery Greeting Cards by Helen for that added touch of sentimentality.

Go Natural

Nothing says "eco-friendly" like bags of natural fiber made by Artesanias de Oaxaca and brooms and pine needle baskets from Escobas Artesanales de Mexico. We also have décor that will bring nature indoors with Color Pod's painted coconut pods and Flores del Mar's seashell flowers. And then there's Adriana Coss Vitrofusión-Reciclado's recycled art - a true trash-to-treasure find!

For the Kids

Outfit the girls in your life (size NB-10) and their 18-inch dolls with Poder de Niña/Girl Power originals. Then check out the wide assortment of lovable dolls and bracelets to match from Animales de Lana.

Take Time for You

And while you're shopping, you can pick up some wearable art for yourself. Chelow, Artisans of Madre Selva, Ollin Mexica, Chantel~Vintage Spoon Jewelry and Karen Mical Designs will charm you with stunning necklaces, bracelets, earrings, watches and rings.

The Perfect Souvenir

Finally, a trip to Vallarta isn't complete without a piece that speaks to the people and traditions of the area. Select an indigenous piece from Huichol Art, a pre-Hispanic musical instrument by Néstor de Jesús Villaseñor García or a pre-Hispanic inspired wooden box or wall art from Wiki. These will be a "crafty" reminder of the fun you've had in our beautiful seaside destination.

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 the last Saturday in May. 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.
