Latin American Festival and Mata Ortiz Pottery Market
Old Town San Diego’s Bazaar del Mundo shops present three days of folk art, food, and entertainment at this annual event. Artists from Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, and Ecuador will showcase one of the most extensive collections of genuine Latin American folk art this side of the border.
The festival exhibits San Diego’s largest collection of authentic Mata Ortiz pottery, a centuries-old art form renowned for its intricate process and hand-painted geometric and ancestral symbols. Other traditional crafts and handmade goods include San Antonio embroidery, tinwork, Talavera pottery, Oaxacan wooden animal carvings, Guatemalan weaving, and Huichol yarn and bead paintings.
Mexican cuisine from neighboring Casa Guadalajara restaurant will be for sale, and Latin American folk band Tinku performs.
