On August 10, come to the market for “Heritage Day” and celebrate the diverse cultural traditions of our community. You won’t want to miss performances by Correo Aereo and Hot Club Sandwich. Plus, a stay for an exciting breakdance battle.
Wrap up the 2013 season on September 14 “Pet Day” with activities, demonstrations, vendors, and services tailored to people and pets.
