Sor Ynéz, 1800 N. American St., announced its spring fling market in celebration of Earth Day on Saturday, April 22, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Taking place on the restaurant’s patio, the event will showcase local artists from the Keepin’ It Small collective, which is also sponsoring the market.

Guests are invited to support small businesses and keep it sustainable by shopping locally.

In addition to the market, guests may enjoy executive chef Alexis Tellez’s latest seasonal brunch and bar menu items, featuring fresh and innovative flavors that showcase locally sourced ingredients through traditional Mexican techniques and his family recipes.

The restaurant features a 50-seat dining room.

“We love partnering with Keepin’ It Small and we’re excited to bring them to Fishtown and Sor Ynéz to celebrate Earth Day so we can help spread the love and encourage others to support small, local vendors,” said Jill Weber, founder of Sojourn Hospitality, parent restaurant group of the restaurant. “Our goal is to provide a space for these businesses to meet new fans and share their stories, and to encourage our guests to discover all the great products they have to offer. We look forward to bringing the two communities together to celebrate the holiday and the season.”

At the Earth Day market, guests may partake in a vibrant celebration of community, sustainability and creativity from a variety of talented vendors brought together by Avery Goldman of Keepin’ it Small, a digital directory of local businesses that aims to create a centralized and supported community where small businesses thrive, and where owners may share their stories.

From handcrafted pots by Contemporary Works to blooming plants from Greenly Plant Co, guests can start preparing their gardens for the season ahead.

Otto Distilling will be mixing its spirits for a special Spring Fling cocktail, as guests explore the arrangement of soaps and lotions from Nooked, unique pieces from Feast Jewelry, sustainable home goods by Rays Reusables and much more.

Guests may also enjoy a new brunch menu and brunch happy hour featuring Buck-a-Shuck oysters and special pricing on signature cocktails.

Tellez’s from-scratch dishes highlight ingredients from local farms and his own on-site herb garden, housemade breads and traditional Mexican flavors presented in new ways.

Guests may also enjoy a variety of seasonal cocktails.

Brunch will be available from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
