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.\n\nThe market will offer live music from over 15 local performers on Friday\, Saturday and Sunday and affordable and delicious food options all 3 days. Esperanza will be holding an hourly raffle for the beautiful goods donated by the artists.\n\nWe are excited to announce that this year over 80 local artists and artisans will offer their handmade wares. Some of those are brand new to the Mercado de Paz\, such as: Knot & Bead Jewelry\, Casa Bruja and Toknihuan Art Mex many are popular returning ones.\nIn addition\, this year we have about 10 new International vendors from Colombia and different areas of Mexico showcasing their Colombian crafts\, Mazahua textiles\, huipiles\, artesanias religiosas y corazones\, canastas de palma\, hand-woven hats and hand-woven beaded necklaces in chaquiras.\n\nLocal Vendors include:\nHelen’s Hidden Treasures • Libélula Leather • Micro Terra • Con Cariño Mexican Folk • Art Metztli Press • Soilnature • Astrid Dueñas Jewelry • Palestine Online Store • Barraza Fine Art • Luna Xanat • BraveBird Designs • Earth Light Creations • Mildred’s Jewelry & Crafts • Gina Lee’s Creations • Candy Clouds • El Scorcho Crafts • Michele Parlee Art • Brieblue • Naveeda’s Jewelry • Rosycrafts “Hecho A Mano” • Xelena Gonzales’ Tu y Yo • Atsuko Taniguchi Metalsmith • Aztlán Libre Press • In The Weeds • Ana Uviedo Shop • Liliana Wilson Art • Guadalupe Segura • El Puño y la Mano • MujerArtes Clay Cooperative • Knot & Bead Jewelry • Amigas • Vavis Trenzitas • Noe Garza Art • Casa Bruja • Marisol de La Muerte • La Crafty Vida • Pearl Sanchez •\n\nInternational Vendors include:\nOver 30 artesanos from Guatemala\, Colombia\, Chiapas\, Hidalgo\, Puebla\, Nuevo León\, Guanajuato\, Jalisco\, Chihuahua\, Ciudad de México\, y Estado de México.
