Tianguis or market day in Ixcateopan de Cuauhtémoc, GuerreroTianguis near central Monterrey.
A tianguis is an open-air market or bazaar that is traditionally held on certain market days in a town or city neighborhood in Mexico and Central America. This bazaar tradition has its roots well into the pre-Hispanic period and continues in many cases essentially unchanged into the present day.[1] The word tianguis comes from tiyānquiztli or tianquiztli[2][3] in Classical Nahuatl, the language of the Aztec Empire.[4] In rural areas, many traditional types of merchandise are still sold, such as agriculture supplies and products as well as modern, mass-produced goods. In the cities, mass-produced goods are mostly sold, but the organization of tianguis events is mostly the same.[4][5] There are also specialty tianguis events for holidays such as Christmas as well as for particular types of items such as cars or art.[6][7]
