Little Italy Becomes a Living Canvas at Mission Fed ArtWalk

San Diego’s Little Italy is set to become a living canvas for Mission Fed ArtWalk, the city’s original fine art festival and one of Southern California’s largest and longest-running art events.

Over 250 artists from across the U.S., Mexico, and beyond will transform the streets into an open-air gallery filled with color, creativity, and cultural celebration.

A Weekend of Art, Music & Inspiration

Now in its 41st year, Mission Fed ArtWalk brings together an eclectic mix of visual artists working in painting, sculpture, glass, photography, jewelry, and more. Explore rows of booths stretching throughout Little Italy’s charming blocks, meet the artists behind the work, and take home a one-of-a-kind piece.

Beyond the art, the festival comes alive with:

  • Four live music stages featuring local performers
  • Interactive art installations for all ages
  • Street food vendors with global flavors
  • KidsWalk – a creative space for family-friendly art activities

A Celebration With Purpose

Each ArtWalk event supports ArtReach San Diego, a local nonprofit dedicated to delivering high-quality visual arts education to underserved schools. Many of their workshops reach Title I schools at no cost, thanks in part to the support from this festival.

As presenting sponsor for 17 years, Mission Fed Credit Union continues to champion the role of the arts in community well-being. “The rows of artwork combined with live music, cultural expression, and art activities foster an environment that celebrates the spirit of San Diego,” says President and CEO Doug Wright.
