LA PLAZA DE MERCADO

“A MARKET WITHIN A MARKET” – Sunday 20 April 2008


Queen Victoria Market will come alive again with dazzling colour and energy on Sunday April 20 for the

recreation of “a market within a market” La Plaza de Mercado.


Last year 35,000 people experienced the vitality and liveliness of La Plaza de Mercado, showcasing the

sights, sounds and beauty of some of the 22 countries of Latin America and Spain and this year promises

to be even more exciting!


Now in its fourth year, this unique event will feature the distinctive elements and diversity from Argentina,

Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Spain and Uruguay from 29

specialty stallholders. 


We invite all Melbournians to come and enjoy the free salsa dance classes,

the sensual rhythm and

exhilarating beat of live Latin bands, explore the market stalls of traditional handicrafts, savour delicious

South American food and taste an exotic Mexican beer in our new beer garden proudly sponsored by

Mexican Liquor Imports. La Plaza de Mercado 20 April 2008 – put it in your diary!


La Plaza de Mercado is brought to you by CELAS (The Spanish Latin American Welfare Centre Inc.)

who provide community assistance and services to the 25,000 Spanish speaking people in Victoria.

Proudly supported by the Victorian Multicultural commission (VMC) and the City of Melbourne, Lord

Mayor John So said:


"Melbourne is recognised as the events and festival capital of Australia. La Plaza de Mercado is a

magnificent community event that embraces our diversity, multiculturalism and sense of fun.”
