La palabra “Xopantla” significa en tiempos de verdor y “Tianquiztli” se refiere a un mercado al aire libre, ambas palabras provienen del náhuatl, lengua indígena hablada por los aztecas.

Creemos que los mercados callejeros son restos fascinantes de la era prehispánica y siguen siendo muy importantes para el intercambio comercial de la mayoría de las comunidades y también una excelente manera de comunicar ideas y abogar por la comunidad.

Están todos invitados a aprender, celebrar y experimentar la belleza y la riqueza del arte y la cultura tradicional mexicana a través de un mercado público que destaca artistas y vendedores locales de la región. Mientras admira a los artistas, puede comprar, saborear la comida mexicana al estilo de la calle, beber y disfrutar de bebidas inspiradas en el tequila y a emocionarse con lo que sucederá durante el día.

El evento es ideal para familias y encontraran actividades que todas las edades pueden disfrutar.

Xopantla Tianquiztli se presenta en colaboración con el Comité del Festival del Día de Muertos, dedicado a preservar la cultura y las tradiciones.

The word “Xopantla” means in verdant times, and “Tianquiztli” refers to an open-air market, which both words come from Nahuatl, an indigenous language spoken by the Aztecs.

We believe that street markets are fascinating remains of the pre-Hispanic era and are still very important for the commercial exchange of most communities and also a great way to communicate ideas and advocate for the community.

You’re all invited to learn, celebrate, and experience the beauty and richness of traditional Mexican arts and culture through a public market highlighting artists and local vendors from the region. As you admire the performers, you can shop, savor street-style Mexican food, sip and enjoy tequila-inspired concoctions, and be moved by what happens throughout the day.

The event is family-friendly, and you’ll find activities that all ages can enjoy.

Xopantla Tianquiztli (XŌPAN, -TLAH TIĀNQUIZ-TLI) is presented in partnership with the Dia de Muertos Festival Committee, dedicated to preserving culture and traditions.
