Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - Everyone's invited to join us on the opening day of Puerto Vallarta's newest outdoor market, Mercado Los Mangos! Gates will open on Saturday, January 28th at 9:30 am at Biblioteca Los Mangos, located at Av. Francisco Villa 1001. The market runs until 2:00 pm each Saturday.

Mercado Los Mangos is a "buy local" market offering a great selection of locally produced artisan products. Live music and entertainment, a food area with international dishes made on site and a children's craft tent will make Mercado Los Mangos the "place to be" for kids and kids at heart.

"We are very excited about the upcoming opening day," says Adriana Garcia, Executive Director of Biblioteca Los Mangos. "Many of the vendors are veterans of Puerto Vallarta's market scene, and have spent years serving high quality foods and products. They'll continue to do that at Mercado Los Mangos, but with a focus on the locals in our surrounding neighborhoods."
