Mazatlán.- The Mazatlán flea markets will have extended operations during the holiday season. The Mayor’s Office confirmed that more markets will be authorized to open on December 24 and 31, dates on which sales usually pick up due to last-minute purchases.
The Chief Officer, Fernando Arballo Quintero, explained that the markets of Flores Magón and Villa Unión will be able to open on both festive dates, while the one in the Francisco Villa neighborhood will operate in an extraordinary manner on the 24th, adding to its days on the 22nd and 23rd.
“It is the first time that permits are given for the Pancho Villa flea market on the 22nd, 23rd and 24th. Likewise, the Flores Magón and Villa Unión flea markets will operate on December 24th and 31st.”
