Grab your familia and head over to historic Old Town to spice up your weekend for the FREE Fiesta Old Town Mercado – a Cinco de Mayo artisan market and dining extravaganza. After 37 years of fiery fun plus 1 dynamic virtual party in 2020, Fiesta Old Town will bring back the FUEGO as it transforms the historic Old Town San Diego area into a Cinco de Mayo retail and cuisine experience taking place Saturday, May 1st from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, May 2nd from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. This event supports the Old Town community and proceeds benefit the Historic Old Town Community Foundation.
