The Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village charms visitors from all over the world year round. This place, authentically fashioned after a Mexican village in every detail, transports you back in time. Vine covered stucco walls, cobble-stoned walkways and magnificent arched entryways that lead into magical garden nooks gives one the feeling that Tlaquepaque has been here for centuries.

Exclusive art galleries and shops cluster around tiled courtyards where giant sycamore trees stand in testimony to the care taken in preserving the stunning beauty of the Tlaquepaque grounds.

These richly colorful courtyards by day can be transformed into private patios at night that beg for celebration. Hanging colored lights with luminarias and beautifully adorned table clusters create the perfect outdoor setting for your wedding reception or rehearsal dinner.
