Mercadito MXDC at La Cosecha

Mercadito MXDC turns La Cosecha's second floor into a shopping stop for Mexican women-owned small businesses on August 29. The market brings together local artisans and entrepreneurs selling crafts, jewelry and accessories, making this a useful excuse to browse for something more distinctive than what you will find at the usual weekend retail spots. It is also a chance to put some money behind independent makers while spending an afternoon at La Cosecha, where you can easily make a longer outing of the trip. Organized by MXDC, La Cosecha DC and Apapacho Taqueria, the market runs from 11am to 6pm, so there is no need to rush through it. Come with time to wander, shop and see what catches your eye.
