Westword: Best Holiday Gift Markets in Denver
Handcrafted textiles, jewelry, accessories and home decor by Latino folk artists fill the Hijos del Sol Holiday Mercado, a Westword pick for holiday shopping.
By Latino Cultural Arts Center
Another year, another holiday shopping season. Sigh. Thoughtful gifts from local makers, artisans and global fair-trade micro-businesses will help you along this season, as will the knowledge that you didn’t just throw your money at corporate retailers online. This year, try it our way: Have a small-scale social experience, buy well, go home and put up your feet.
Holiday Mercado
Hijos del Sol, 2715 West Eighth Avenue
Saturday, December 21, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
As the Latino Cultural Arts Center in Sun Valley continues to raise money for a new home, the museum's retail shop, Hijos del Sol, puts a beautiful face on the institution’s mission by offering quality, hand-selected, handcrafted textiles, jewelry, accessories and home decor created by Latino folk artists from across the Americas; sales support both LCAC and fair-trade artisans. Now Hijos del Sol, a 2019 Westword Best of Denver winner, is kicking off its Holiday Mercado with several weekend shopping days ahead of Christmas. Go find something exquisite por tu familia y amigos.
