About the International Plaza
At 828 North Clinton Avenue, the International Plaza is an exciting, Latin-themed event space and marketplace. It features a variety of vendors and vending options, ranging from pop-up tents and carts to more permanent locations housed in creatively converted, re-purposed shipping-containers, a performance pavilion, dedicated restrooms, and a service/storage building.
The International Plaza provides a community gathering space to celebrate and build on the tremendous arts and cultural assets of the surrounding neighborhood.
The Plaza is also a place where local entrepreneurs and/or existing businesses can locate and sell their products and services in a low-risk, low-cost, flexible environment that incubates neighborhood economic development.
