Artisans Mercado - Ajo Arizona Saturday Market

The market features handmade items only. Pottery, photographs, paintings, food, and other artistic creations are on display in the Ajo Plaza every Saturday from October to March and every second Saturday of the month from April to September. There weren't a lot of booths when we visited probably because of the cool weather. Our friend, whom we were visiting, bought some delicious brownies to share with us.
The sidewalks and curb cuts in the plaza area are in good condition. Most of the stores have accessible entrances. Missing curb cuts, lack of sidewalks, and other obstacles in the rest of the town may cause difficulties for visitors with mobility issues.

RVs can be parked on North Plaza Street, south of the plaza. Mercado 32.37305, -112.86187

2023 RTRs January 7 - 20

    
 Another great RTR! This year besides the seminars, free table, and button booth we added craft and game booths, food trucks, a sewing booth, buskers, and movie night. 
 

      
Movie night was a big hit with Nomadland shown on an inflatable screen.
The stars made an appearance the next morning to answer questions and talk about their movie experience.
We camped on BLM land with some of the other volunteers where we enjoyed the sunsets, potlucks, and and of course, Burning Van!  RTRs  33.676, -114.2102
