Annual Holiday Market and Inagural Coquito Competition: 2024 & 2025
More than a drink, this was a celebration of culture, community, and tradition.
The NYC Celebrates Women Holiday Market and Inaugural Coquito Competition brought together women-owned businesses, cultural pride, and community power. What began as a tribute to a beloved tradition became a meaningful space where Women of Color entrepreneurs were supported, celebrated, and economically uplifted.
With 15 small business vendors, talented Coquito competitors, respected celebrity judges, and a community that showed up with intention, this inaugural event proved that culture and commerce thrive together.
We are grateful to our partners, supporters, and community leaders who helped make this vision a reality and proud to continue building spaces where tradition fuels opportunity.
