Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Mercado?
If you have ever been to Germany or Austria during Advent or Christmas time, you might be familiar with their famous Christmas Markets, in which whole cities transform into Christmas Fairs to celebrate the Child Jesus (these markets are known by the name of Christkindlmarkt or “Christ Child Market”).
We will be hosting such a Christmas Market here at OLG, and you can already see the booths being built in front of the school! But while we will be hosting a German-style Christmas Market, we will be giving it a La Habra spin to honor Our Lady of Guadalupe and the culture of Mexico.
What is the schedule of events and food at the Mercado?
We are excited for the best ever Mercado with food and entertainment each night, children's activities, a tavern with festive alcoholic beverages and activities, Guadalupe's Roasts & Toasts, and more!
Check out the full schedule above.
