San Ignacio Market
San Ignacio Saturday Market
Belize's largest Saturday market, where tropical fruit, Maya handicrafts and food stalls come together.
The market sits by the Macal River in the town center. Stalls operate on weekdays too, but on Saturday mornings Maya, Mestizo and Mennonite farmers from surrounding villages set up stalls selling fresh fruit, handicrafts and snacks such as pupusas and tamales. It's a great place to experience Belize's multicultural life. Admission is free; arrive between 7 and 10 a.m. and bring small change.
Opening hours
Daily about 06:00–15:00; largest on Saturdays
