Sobre Nosotros
A unique, year-round traveling pop-up market dedicated to highlighting and uplifting the Latine community in Columbus. Our market is more than just a place to shop—it's a vibrant hub that fosters connection, celebrates our rich cultures, and supports local artists and small businesses.
At El Mercadito we provide a welcoming and inclusive space where the diverse Latine Hispanic community can come together. Our market showcases local talent, offers delicious traditional foods, and presents opportunities to learn about and celebrate our cultural heritage through music, art, and community events.
But our commitment extends beyond the market. Throughout the year, we organize and support a range of community-driven initiatives:
•Back-to-School Drive in July to ensure every child has the tools they need for success
•Food Drive in partnership with Mid-Ohio Food Bank in September to help combat food insecurity
•Winter Coat Drive in October to provide warmth for those in need during the cold months
•Toy Drive with Buckeye Ranch in November to bring joy to children and families during the holiday season
Our Vision and Mission —
To create a vibrant and inclusive community where the Latine culture thrives, local artists and small businesses are empowered, and traditions are celebrated year-round, fostering a sense of belonging and pride for all. El Mercadito is dedicated to uplifting the Latine community by providing a welcoming space that highlights local talent, celebrates our rich cultural heritage, and supports small businesses. Through year-round markets and community-driven initiatives, we connect people, promote cultural understanding, and contribute to the well-being of our community.
