27th Annual Peace Market / Mercado de Paz

Friday, November 25, 2016 @ 10:00 am - Saturday, November 26, 2016 @ 6:00 pm

The Esperanza Peace and Justice Center celebrates 27 years of combining the arts with economic sustainability, international exchange, and social consciousness. The International Peace Market (Mercado de Paz) returns once again to the city of San Antonio! Peace Market provides a family-friendly safe environment that honors the importance of moments and spaces where people gather outdoors and indoors together as community. This year the market will be held on Friday, November 25th, Saturday, November 26, 2016 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and for the first time ever, ALSO Sunday, November 27, from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. As one of the oldest annual open-air international markets, the Mercado de Paz offers a community-centered alternative shopping destination during the busiest corporate shopping days of the year. Over 100 international and local artists/artisans will offer shoppers a variety of artful, beautifully handmade items, including hand woven rugs, hand crafted pottery, hand crafted textiles, hand-embroidered clothing, paintings, sculptures and much more.

The market will also offer live music from local performers and affordable and delicious food options from chicken mole to vegan menudo.

For the past 27 years, visitors and local patrons have gathered at the Esperanza Center free of charge, filling the two-story building, the back patio and spilling out into the adjacent street. The Esperanza Peace and Justice Center is located 1.5 miles north of the downtown library on San Pedro and Evergreen St. across from the VIA offices.
