Windsor’s Town Green will host a new evening event this summer: El Mercadito de Windsor, set to run every second Friday from 5 – 9 PM from May through August.
The monthly Friday night event, “Windsor’s Little Market” in English, will feature Latinx foods and beverages and the works of local Latinx artisans and craftspeople, as well as free children’s activities.
More than 50 vendors and makers are signed up for each of the El Mercadito Fridays: May 13, June 10, July 8, and August 9.
El Mercadito kicks off May 13 with “Mariachis and Mimosas for Mom,” featuring free traditional Mariachi music and the popular cocktail for sale from 5-6:30 PM at the Mercadito Cantina. The Children’s Museum of Sonoma County will be on the Town Green with their “Museum on the Go” with free children’s activities.
The first 50 people to check in at the El Mercadito de Windsor information booth at 5 pm will receive a free “swag bag” with a Swag Card good for discounts throughout the market, as well as at shops and restaurants and tasting rooms around the Windsor Town Green. Discounts and deals were all donated by Windsor merchants.
The first 25 children to arrive at the 6:30 PM Encanto Storytime in Spanish on the Green May 13 will receive a Kids Swag Bag with a gift certificate for one free scoop of Baskin Robbins Ice Cream, donated by Baskin Robbins in Windsor.
