35th Annual Peace Market / Mercado de Paz 2024

35th Annual Peace Market / Mercado de Paz 2024
Join us for the 35th Annual Peace Market / Mercado de Paz, on Friday & Saturday, November 29 & 30, 10AM to 6 PM and Sunday, December 1, 12PM to 6PM.
The International Peace Market/Mercado de Paz is now in its 35th year, and since the beginning, has combined the arts with social consciousness, international and cultural exchange and economic empowerment. The Mercado provides an alternative to Black Friday where goods are mass produced and where individuals fight traffic, long lines and shop within a stressful environment. The Peace Market instead, offers attendees the opportunity to shop leisurely, visit and exchange directly with the creators of the gifts they will be purchasing and run into family and friends who are also interested in supporting artisans with a social justice sensibility.
The market will also offer live music from local performers throughout the 3 days, and affordable and delicious food options.
Esperanza will be holding an hourly raffle for the beautiful goods donated by the artists.
We are excited to announce that this year nearly 80 artists and artisans will offer their wares.
