Puebla to remove street vendors from historic center for Buen Fin weekend
Puebla’s city government and the National Chamber of Commerce, known as Canaco, agreed to remove street vendors from the historic center on Saturday and Sunday during Buen Fin 2026.
Buen Fin is a special sales campaign, and the move is intended to keep routes through the shopping area clear.
Canaco president Héctor Landero Camacho said the agreement followed talks with city authorities.
The chamber says informal sellers compete with established businesses, which pay taxes and provide registered jobs.
The weekend measure is not a lasting solution, and discussions on reorganizing informal trade are continuing.
Canaco wants a durable plan for the December shopping season and the end of the year.
The chamber also says officials should persuade street vendors to move to areas where they can trade without affecting shops.

What people are saying
The talks with the authorities continue permanently to achieve a comprehensive reorganization of informal commerce, and not only for the weekend
The objective of these negotiations is for the reorganization not to be an action exclusive to specific weekends, but to establish lasting foundations ahead of the December season and the coming year-end
