Fresh food, live music, art, hand-made gifts, and more. You'll find a bit of everything here at the seasonal, outdoor Mermaids Market!

The Mermaids Market in Puerto Peñasco was started over 10 years ago by Russ and Naomi Black. Their mission was to create a way for local artists and photographers to sell their products, as well as bring the community together! Today, the market has grown to host 25-30+ vendors every 1st and 3rd Saturday throughout the season. You can find the Mermaids Market on scheduled dates from October to the end of May (with a brief hiatus around Semana Santa). The best way to stay up to date is by following their official Facebook page or by checking their website.

The market takes place in Shrimp Park, which is on the corner of Benito Juarez and Blvd. Carrillo (formerly Freemont) from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. There is no admission charge to get into the Mermaids Market and parking is free. So, this is a fantastic place to spend a Saturday to hang out, shop around, enjoy music, try local food vendors, and spend time with the family at no cost!
