30th Annual International Peace Market/Mercado de Paz

Friday, November 29, 2019 - Sunday, December 1, 2019

The Esperanza Peace and Justice Center celebrates 30 years of combining the arts with economic sustainability, international exchange, and social consciousness. 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 29 & Saturday, November 30 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday, December 1, 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. 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, vintage goods, soaps, 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 30 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 Evergreen – 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.

For more info, you can call us at (210) 228-0201.

Remember, when you purchase something at Peace Market, you should always receive a pink receipt. You can show this receipt at the raffle table to get a free raffle ticket for a chance to win one of the products by the Peace Market vendors!
