Blossom into Spring with Fresh Finds Mercato Happening This March
The Fresh Finds Mercato spring edition is back, inviting guests to Mojo’s Restaurant in Victoria, Gozo, on Saturday, 29 March, 2025, from 4:00pm to 9:00pm for an evening celebrating local fun.
As the island of Gozo awakens to the vibrancy of spring, the Fresh Finds Mercato Spring Edition invites all to an evening filled with creativity, craftsmanship, and community spirit at Mojo’s Restaurant in Victoria. Locals and visitors alike can immerse themselves in a marketplace where the essence of spring comes to life through the hands of talented local artisans.
Michelle Bartolo, Founder of Fresh Finds Mercato, shares her vision: “Fresh Finds Mercato was born out of a deep desire to weave the rich tapestry of Gozo’s culture into a dynamic, thriving marketplace. This spring, we’re not just showcasing crafts; we’re celebrating the renewal of our traditions, the blossoming of new talents, and the joy of community. Every piece tells a story—crafted from locally sourced, in-season materials that embody the very spirit of Gozo in every stitch, brushstroke, and ingredient.”
March in Gozo is a time when the island’s produce begins to shine, bringing a fresh taste of spring to every corner. The air is alive with the scent of fresh herbs, while citrus fruits, especially oranges and lemons, burst with flavour at their peak. At the same time, fresh greens, including rucola and chard, begin to make their appearance, perfect for hearty homemade dishes that celebrate the arrival of longer, sunnier days.
Cara and Alicja, the event facilitators, express their excitement: “We’re thrilled to bring you this spring edition, where the spotlight is firmly on the artisans themselves. These creators are the heart of Gozo, transforming local produce into art you can wear, eat, and live with. Each purchase made here supports sustainable practices, honours Gozo’s rich heritage, and helps sustain small, passionate businesses. Through our marketing efforts, we’re ensuring that everyone knows about this unique, creative experience. This event is a testament to the power of community and creativity, where every item has been lovingly crafted by someone from your own neighbourhood.”
At Fresh Finds Mercato, every item you encounter is a reflection of the artisans’ skill, passion, and dedication. Each piece represents the spirit of Gozo, making every purchase more than just shopping—it’s an investment in the dreams and livelihoods of small local businesses. This market champions creativity, sustainability, and community, helping to shape Gozo into a true Mediterranean jewel.
As part of the experience, Mojo’s Restaurant will offer an exclusive, limited menu, inviting guests to savour the flavours of spring and soak in the unique ambiance. It’s the perfect setting to connect with others and celebrate the season with a true taste of Gozo.
