Essex Market is a Lower East Side institution, and its Hispanic Heritage Celebration brings the neighborhood's deep Latino roots into the market hall with live music and activities. It is presented with local advocate Daisy Paez, so the vibe is community first. If you want a free, family-friendly way to mark Hispanic Heritage Month downtown, stop by and eat your way through the stalls.
What to expect
Expect live music, family activities and a buzzing market floor where you can buy lunch from the vendors between sets. The celebration is free and drop-in, so you can stay for a song or the whole afternoon. The market sits right at the Delancey–Essex subway hub, making it an easy stop on a downtown Saturday.
