- Arrive early on weekends to experience the most vibrant atmosphere and find the best selection of goods before they sell out.
- Bring cash, as many smaller vendors may not accept credit cards, and it can speed up your transactions.
- Explore the 'gran remate' (grand clearance sale) towards the end of the fair for potential bargains on remaining items.
- Wear comfortable shoes, as you'll be doing a lot of walking to browse the hundreds of merchant stalls.
- Check the weather forecast and dress in layers, as evenings can be cool in Tepic during December and January.
