On Saturday, August 16, 2025, from 10 AM – 4 PM, the East LA Civic Center transforms into a vibrant, queer- and trans-led marketplace bursting with food, art, music, and community. This monthly event brings together local LGBTQ+ vendors, artists, and makers—offering everything from handcrafted goods to delicious eats—all in a space that radiates inclusivity and culture.

Whether you’re here to shop unique finds, support queer-owned businesses, or simply soak in the music and community vibes, the Queer Mercado is a celebration of creativity, connection, and pride you cannot miss!
