The Walk Street

Tom Wuelpern just sent me this. I think we can all be excited by the beautiful next phase of Mercado District. Cheers to Tom.

Adopt-a-Park is now official!

Thanks to Mercado neighbors, Tucson is cleaner and more beautiful!

Hi All - Do we have any formal plans going for Halloween in the plaza? I know there was initial interest. If we want to plan something concrete, I can do a flier that we can provide to our guests, and it gives us an "in" for the new neighbors in the apartments to join the festivities. Thoughts?

One more reason why Mercado ROCKS!

Visitors to our Community Garden

Just this morning. They were actually EATING the pumpkins until I opened the gate to the field next door and HERDED them out. We call them "big mice" around here.

Celebration of Memory

DIA DE LOS MUERTOS

November 2nd, 2009 at Mercado San Agustin

Please join us for a celebration, blessing and potluck dinner. It has been a tradition for us to hold a day of the dead celebration each year. This year we are doing it in the Mercado. All are welcome, it's a beautiful event. We build shrines in the afternoon, have a candle lighting and blessing at sunset and then a casual potluck dinner after. We hope you'll choose to participate.

SHRINE BUILDING 3pm to Sunset

CANDLE LIGHTING & BLESSING Sunset - 30 minutes

THE FEAST Following blessing

The most fun part of the day is the shrine building. We bring photos of our loved ones we've lost over the years and a few of the things that they enjoyed in their lives and create multiple shrines to celebrate their lives.

To participate in the shrine building, please contact Jose Duran.
