Join us for El Mercadito—a vibrant monthly community market celebrating South County’s local entrepreneurs and small businesses. Shop a diverse selection of artisan goods, enjoy delicious offerings from food vendors, and experience this new local pop-up-style event. The next Mercadito will take place at Cesar Chavez Park (555 Front Street) in downtown Soledad on Saturday, May 2 from 11 am to 4 pm. This special holiday market will celebrate Cinco de Mayo with folklorico performances, a DJ, face-painting, and a very festive environment. Bring family and friends, and be sure to mark your calendars for future market dates: June 6, July 11, Aug 1, Sept 5, plus special holiday markets on Oct 3, Oct 17, Nov 7, Nov 21, Dec 12, and Dec 19.
