The Mercantile

The Merc presents <a href="https://youtu.be/VASqLSkSlps" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">LEO FROM RIO: SONGS OF LATIN ICONS</a>, an evening of rhythm, glamour and joy created and performed by Leopold Nunan.
Backed by a band of world-class musicians, Leopold gives his own theatrical, passionate take on the legends of Latin music: the bossa nova of Antônio Carlos Jobim and Sérgio Mendes, the soulful voices of Mercedes Sosa and Violeta Parra, the fiery salsa of Celia Cruz, and the romantic boleros of Luis Miguel.
The timing is special. The show falls in the last days of Hispanic Heritage Month and the lead-up to Día de los Muertos, a fitting moment to honor artists whose music crossed borders and generations. It's a celebration of openness, acceptance and the freedom to be fully yourself, a reminder that music has always brought people together.
Beer, wine and snacks will be available for purchase, and there's plenty of free parking in Old Town Temecula's public lots

Live Animals, Birds, Reptiles, “Creepy Crawly Things” and a Special Visit From Spider-Man!

MURRIETA, CA — The Nature Education Foundation at the Santa Rosa Plateau (TNEF) announces the return of its popular Family Wildlife Day, Saturday, November 7, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve, 39400 Clinton Keith Road, Murrieta 92562
Family Wildlife Day gives children and their families an opportunity to get up close with the wild side of nature. Guests will encounter live birds, snakes, mammals, insects and other fascinating creatures while learning about wildlife, the Santa Rosa Plateau and the importance of protecting our natural world.
Designed to inform, entertain and inspire, the event brings nature education to life through hands-on activities, live-animal encounters and presentations for children and adults.
More than 30 exhibitors and activities will be featured throughout the day, including plenty of “bats, bugs and creepy crawly things!” Participants include Project Wildlife, the Sierra Club, RivCoParks Interpreter Rob Hicks, The Reptile Guy, the Western Science Center and many other wildlife, conservation and nature-education organizations.
Young nature explorers ages 5–14
can also visit the Junior Ranger Program booth, where they can learn more about wildlife, conservation and becoming good stewards of the natural world.
A Superhero Joins the Wildlife!
Adding some superhero fun to the day, Spider-Man will make a special guest appearance beginning at 11:00 a.m., providing an exciting opportunity for young visitors to meet and take photos with the web-slinging hero.
“Family Wildlife Day is all about creating those moments when a child sees, touches or discovers something in nature and suddenly wants to know more,” said Ginger Greaves, Executive Director. “We want families to have a wonderful day together, but we also hope children leave with a greater curiosity about wildlife and an understanding that they can play a role in protecting it.”
Family Wildlife Day also introduces families to the larger environmental education mission of The Nature Education Foundation. For a limited time tickets for children/youth up to age 17 are free when adult tickets are purchased at the same time.&nbsp; Adult tickets are $15 each.&nbsp; Tickets sold at the gate on day of event will be $15 Adults and $5/children/youth.&nbsp;
