Prosperity Market — the mobile farmers market spotlighting Black farmers, food producers, chefs, and entrepreneurs in Los Angeles — will conclude its 4th annual Black Business Scavenger Hunt with a pop-up farmers market and block party from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sept. 1 at Hilltop Coffee & Kitchen in View Park/Windsor Hills.
In honor of Black Business Month (August), Prosperity Market founders Kara Still and Carmen Dianne created an interactive map with 100+ Black businesses, encouraging Angelenos to visit and support as many locations as possible in order to earn points and win prizes. The winners of the Black Business Scavenger Hunt will be announced and given their prizes during the pop-up market.
Prosperity Market and 50+ local vendors and farmers (including Compton Vegan, My Daddy’s Recipes, Ace Naturals and Chef Brandi Biggles) will take over Hilltop’s parking lot, alongside a DJ, wine garden by 1010 Wine, Tammi Mac of KJLH Radio, community resources, a kids’ area by Teach to Reach, photo booth and more. Special activations include Gin & Juice by Dre and Snoop, the award-winning ready-to-drink premium gin-based cocktail from Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg’s new spirits company, plus Hulu will be on-site with a coffee giveaway and swag bags promoting “Reasonable Doubt.” Neighborhood businesses on Slauson Avenue, including Supervsn, Pamper U and Mae’s Skin & Body, will take part in the celebration by activating in their respective locations with music, promotions and activities. This event is free and open to the public.
Envisioned by Prosperity Market as a farmers-market-on-wheels, the long-awaited mobile trailer will make its public debut at the pop-up market. Attendees will be able to explore and shop the inside of the 48-foot trailer, stocked with goods from local and national businesses like Ghetto Gastro and Gloria’s Shito.
