With the goal of providing another location for culture and tourism in Mazatlán and offering antique and attractive products, two new bazaars are on offer in Plazuela de los Leones in El Centro.

The brainchild of Silvia Catelo Toledo, historian Antonio Lerma Garay and book promoter Melly Peraza along with a team from municipal family services (DIF), the two bazaars are held every Friday and Saturday from 4:30pm to 7:30pm.

The Friday event, Lectura y Bazar Literario, features the sale of second hand books and magazines and Saturday’s bazaar, Expo y Bazar de Antaño, the sale and/or exhibition of second hand articles of interest.

Tables and chairs for charitable organizations are free. To register for the bazaar as an exhibitor or commercial vendor contact Sandra Villarreal at DIF Mazatlán, 910-2845.
