La Ultima Parada 2017 Mercado
On Sunday’s Family Festival, more than a dozen cultural vendors will be present, selling jewelry, cultural and traditional wear and more.
This year, a space will be created for all vendors in the gravel lot in front of the Mexican Heritage Plaza (along Alum Rock Avenue) and surrounding the giant La Ultima Parada Ferris Wheel. We look forward to working with all vendors to create another great community experience at La Ultima Parada in San Jose. Our website has been updated with the most current information and application. The last page of the application shows the layout of the vendors, with each spot numbered as a reference. Spaces are limited and to ensure your booth space, please return your application as soon as possible.
