The First Market in the Bay
Here’s a fun bit of history: the Mercado del Pueblo was the first local market in the Bahía de Banderas. After it got started, the Mercado team worked with local government and communities to build an entire market system that supports local growers and craftspeople, keeping local food local and handmade goods available in our towns.
Today, you can find a local market almost any day of the year somewhere around the bay.
A Market That Gives Back
The Mercado del Pueblo is the only local market in the area committed to staying a not-for-profit organization. Every year, it donates all of its proceeds to local organizations and community events.
So when you pick up your weekly veggies or a handmade gift, you’re also helping support the community.
