The Old Town Farmers' Market has rapidly become one of Puerto Vallarta's most compelling weekend attractions, particularly for those who enjoy stocking their kitchens or sampling fresh local products. The Market is a producer only market, which means that all vendors must make, bake or grow their products.
The Old Town Farmers Market-Tianguis Cultural is a "producer only" market where all products are made, baked, grown and sold by Vendors who live within 50 kilometers of Puerto Vallarta.
Browsing the Market you will find a great selection of organic salad greens, herbs, exotic fruits and veggies, chocolates, coffees, pickles, jams, jellies, fresh pasta, cheeses, salsas, salad dressings, home made ice cream and locally prepared meats.
Artisan bakers offer breads, hand made tortillas, gourmet tamales, cookies, cinnamon buns and ready to bake savory pies. Local craft artisans sell their treasures of hand crafted jewelry, clothing, paintings, soaps, cards, candles and clay work.
Musicians provide background music while you stroll through the aisles enjoying the rich aromas of warm baked goods, herbs and fresh ground coffee. After shopping why not relax with your friends and enjoy lunch from one of the concessions - Thai food, barbecued sandwiches, homemade tamales, burritos or Italian chavattas accompanied with fresh squeezed juices or agua frescas.
Non Profit groups are on hand to keep you informed about local fundraising events and the good works of their organizations. The Market offers free arts and crafts experiences for young Market visitors where they can get their faces painted or make fun projects from recycled materials.
Each week Vendors contribute products for the Market Basket which is raffled off with all proceeds going toward a garden and composting project for the school. To view the basket and purchase raffle tickets visit the Market Information Booth.
The Market is wheelchair accessible, pet friendly, and parking is available at the Lazaro Cardenas parkade.
For more information or to become a vendor, contact the Market Cooordinator at coordinator(at)oldtownfm.com, visit our website at oldtownfm.com, or friend us on facebook at Old Town Farmer's Market Puerto Vallarta.
