How Seller's Day was born in Peru

The Peruvian Seller's Day was born in 1977 when the Central Market of the Center of Lima was more visited by people on the outskirts than inside. For this reason, the mayor of that time, Alberto Andrade Carmona, evicted all the street vendors and reordered the commerce in the area, which had positive effects for all the vendors. As a result of the results, what Andrade Carmona did was imitated in other districts of the city and also in other provinces of the country.

However, what the mayor did did not eliminate the job of salesman, on the contrary, he reinvented it. For this reason, the constant search for the "opportunity" to carry out the business. In this way, on this day and with the passing of the years, Seller's Day began to be celebrated in Peru every April 29 , to highlight their work but also to remember that the trade of selling is considered in our country as a worthy occupation. .
