Thank you for having us!

✨ THANK YOU, AURORA! ✨

We are so grateful for everyone who came out to our First Fridays: Cinco de Mayo Edition and made it such an amazing night! 🎶

A huge THANK YOU to all of our incredible vendors who showed up, set up, and brought the energy—even with the cooler weather. Your dedication and hustle do not go unnoticed, and YOU are what makes Mercado so special. ❤️

Special thank you to Diamond Dance Academy and Corazón de Oro for the beautiful performances that brought culture, passion, and life to the night. You truly made it unforgettable.

And of course, thank you to our amazing community for coming out, supporting local, and celebrating with us. Your presence is everything.

This is what Mercado is all about — community, culture, and connection.

Until next time… 💛
¡Hasta luego!

A pleasure and honor to celebrate cultura with our community!

THANK YOU/GRACIAS!!!

We were honored to continue this rich tradition started by our friend, the late Dee Basile! A special thank you to all our students (Diamonds Dance Academy & Simply Destinee Youth Center) & parents for helping us make this year's Fiestas Patrias event so memorable!

The Parade of Nations, which celebrates Aurora's amazing, Latin culture, is one of the highlights of the year and will continue for years to come!

Thank you also to all our Youth Services & City of Aurora, IL, Government staff, volunteers, and our entire community for continuing to support this and other programs for our youth!
