Graze through 12 of London’s best Mexican Street food traders offering a wide range of savoury bites from tacos to sopes, gorditas and tamales as well as sweet favourites like churros and pan dulce along Hackney Bridge’s star food traders and bars with a great selection of craft beers and cocktails.
Browse through a colourful Mexican market offering original arts, crafts, clothing , accessories and much more along Hackney Bridge’s famous Flea Market on Sunday. On Monday, the Mexican Market expands and welcomes a collection of Family entertainment stalls echoing a Mexican ‘kermess’ Fair to keep the little ones and the not so little ones amused.
As Sunday night comes, Block C welcomes ‘Cinco de Cumbia Fiesta’ with one of the most exciting cumbia bands in the scene Malphino along Madrid’s Guacamayo DJs until 2am.
All this, as you bump into fun Mexican characters and workshops across the site to celebrate Mexico’s win at the famous ‘Batalla de Puebla’ for your bank holiday weekend.
