EL MERCADITO

The El Mercadito will be joining Tacos and Tamales Festival on Sunday.

Get ready for something brand new at this year’s Tacos and Tamales Festival — introducing El Mercadito!

El Mercadito is a vibrant little kids market and art activation designed especially for our youngest festival-goers. Inspired by the colorful spirit of traditional mercados, this interactive space gives kids the chance to explore creativity, imagination, and entrepreneurship in a fun and welcoming environment.

Families can stroll through pint-sized vendor booths, discover handmade goods, and watch young creators proudly showcase their talents. Alongside the market, our art activation area invites kids to dive into hands-on projects, collaborative art experiences, and playful cultural crafts that celebrate community and creativity.

El Mercadito is all about empowering young makers, supporting creativity, and creating joyful festival memories for the whole family. Come shop small, create big, and celebrate with us!
