Southside residents can find healthy, fresh produce from Mercados de O’liva, artisan-made crafts, and 150 fruit and nut trees on Saturday, April 16, at Mission Marquee Plaza.
Mission Marquee Plaza, located at 3100 Roosevelt Avenue, hosts many cultural community events throughout the year, including Mercados de O’liva which opens every third Saturday of the month until November, and accepts Lonestar as payment.
The San Antonio Parks and Recreation Department will also be on-site for a free tree adoption event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., or as long as supplies last. City staff will hand out 150 trees, including fruit and native trees such as lemon, lime, orange, pecan and avocado trees. As always, residents are encouraged to arrive early to guarantee they receive a tree.
