Palm Sunday Handcraft Market

[3][4][6] In 2015, the event drew over 1,300 artisans from all over the state, especially the Purépecha highland region, from towns such as Tzintzuntzan, San José de Gracia, Capula, Huáncito, Patamban, Santo Tomas, Cocucho and Paracho.[5] These include textiles and traditional clothing, miniatures, jewelry, toys, furniture, lacquered gourds, chests, leather goods, iron, other metals, and the various types of ceramics produced, and those from stiff fibers such as wicker and palm fronds.[2] Over its history, the tianguis proper has since been expanded with other cultural events such as music and dance performances, a parade of artisans, a food exhibition featuring the traditional cuisine of the Purépecha and more.[5] The parade also include artisans with examples of their wares such as those from Santa Clara del Cobre, Pamatacuaro and Paracho along with marching bands and mojigangas (large cartonería puppet figures) .[1][2][3] At the Plaza de la Ranita, there is a demonstration and sale of traditional Purépecha food, which includes pozole, corundas, atole, enchiladas, buñuelos, uchepos (tamales of sweet corn) and fish dishes.
