The town of Teotitlán del Valle is famous for its production of rugs and this is reflected in the Teotitlán del Valle Market, which is, in fact, two independent markets.

Teotitlán markets are full of color and joy, both are located in the Historic Center of Teotitlán del Valle, one of them famous for the typical rugs in the region and the other to offer the products and typical food. The left side of the main church is the handicraft market, with sales of famous artisan rugs made in lambswool (dyed with natural dyes from plants and animals) bags, rebosos, zarapes, hats, keychains and wool dolls. Right side of the church is the Municipal Market selling fruits and vegetables from the region, the typical bread of the people, prepared snacks, among others.

Tianguis (from Nahuatl tiyānquiztli, 'market') is the traditional market that has existed in Mesoamerica since pre-Hispanic times and has evolved in form and social context over the centuries. The heritage of the tianguis is a mixture of the mercantile traditions of the pre-Hispanic peoples of Mesoamerica, including the Aztec, and of the bazaars of the Middle East that arrived in America via Spain. The tianguis are characterized by being located semi-permanently in the streets and on days designated by uses and customs, these vary in each population, in which the local community acquires various products, from food and clothing.
