Latin American Festival and Mata Ortiz Pottery Market
The Bazaar del Mundo Shops in Old Town offer a weekend full of folk art, food, and entertainment at the annual Latin American Festival and Mata Ortiz Pottery Market. Shoppers will find hand-painted Mata Ortiz Pottery, artisan jewelry, Mexican clothing, and many other colorful collectibles.
The vibrant marketplace -- with artists from Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, Ecuador, and other Latin American countries -- showcases one of the most extensive collections of genuine Latin American folk art, traditional clothing and textiles, colorful collectibles, and jewelry this side of the border. The Festival also exhibits San Diego’s largest collection of authentic Mata Ortiz Pottery, a centuries-old art form renowned for its detailed process and hand-painted geometric and ancestral symbols.
