This was a fantastic way to spend the weekend. There was plenty to see, eat, do, sit, people to chat with, and great buys all around. From the street vendors to the car show we had a great time. We’ll definitely come back

We were here when the Foringueros Truck club had their “offends” displays for the “Dia de Los Muertos” day of the dead. We could not have had a more dreamlike Time Machine laced experience here. Just to sit in one of the park...Read More

Old town Plaza is a great historic place to visit. The shops are expensive tourist "traps" but are fun to look at and explore. I definitely recommend seeing the historic Church and even trying drinks at one of the tasting rooms in the area!
