La Cosecha is a contemporary market celebrating Latin American culture and conversation. Together, we engage through authentic flavors, art, and heritage. La Cosecha opened in 2019 with a mission to foster entrepreneurship and support social, cultural, and economic prosperity through the La Cosecha Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.

Infused by the energy of La Cosecha’s open market below, Balcón is a second-floor gallery event space for intimate celebrations and community gatherings. This is where we will be meeting!

Parking is available complimentary in the garage behind La Cosecha for up to three hours, and on surrounding streets- please arrive a little early to give yourself time to find La Cosecha, park, and ease into the space (2nd floor on the "Balcon" at La Cosecha).
