As is tradition, every January 15 the merchants of the Huancayo Model Market dress up to celebrate their anniversary. On this occasion, yesterday they celebrated their 55th anniversary with orchestras, food, balloons and dancing. In addition, they performed the traditional Descent of the Child Jesus.
Yesterday, the Huancayo Model Market, one of the most important markets in the region, celebrated 55 years since its move from the central market to its current location. For more than half a century, they have worked at the service of the Huancaí community, offering a wide variety of products such as vegetables, meats, fish, food, plastics, among others.
The market has 17 sections and around 700 members who come together to fraternize, iron out rough edges and rectify errors, with the aim of offering a better service to the Huancaino public each year.

”There are many sections that get together, hire their orchestras and musical groups, and celebrate. It is a tradition that has been consolidated over the years. It is the only day in which we pause in our work to fellowship,” said Leodomiro Palomino Sarmiento, president of the Huancayo Model Market, who highlighted the importance of this festival to strengthen ties between partners.
Leodomiro Palomino announced that they are working hand in hand with the Provincial Municipality of Huancayo to improve customer service.

“I ask the people of Huancayo to continue trusting in their Mercado Modelo, which is the first in the region. If we have made mistakes, we will rectify them. “We are going to improve our service, offering quality, fresh, cheap and full-weight products.”
Finally, he emphasized that from today they will continue to serve as always, from 6:00 am. With this commitment, the Mercado Modelo reaffirms its role as a fundamental pillar in the local economy and in the well-being of the community.
