Haitian market day

Haitian market day is a sight to behold. Once a week, each community hosts local business owners as they fill the bustling streets with their stands, tables, and tarps. They come from miles away, often carrying their goods on their head, or balanced on a motorcycle.

Market day is not only an economic generator for the community, it is also a time for the community to come together, catch up on community news, and see friends. There are many paintings depicting market day, as it is known for its vibrant colors, interesting wares, and is an essential part of the Haitian culture.
