Mission Fed ArtWalk Boasts Interactive Festival Features to Celebrate its 40th Anniversary

The Mission Fed ArtWalk is back in Little Italy this weekend for its 40th year, celebrating both visual and performing arts in San Diego.

The event also brings several interactive components to fully experience culture in San Diego’s Little Italy on Saturday, April 27 and Sunday, April 28, 2024. From participating in community art projects to experimenting and creating with new mediums, there is something for everyone.

Connecting fine artists and art buffs

Mission Fed ArtWalk, largest and longest-running fine art festival in Southern California, attracts 120,000 art collectors and visitors from all over the country to purchase art from established and emerging artists during the two-day festival located throughout San Diego’s Little Italy neighborhood.

Thousands of attendees come to view and purchase artwork, enjoy live music performances, and participate in interactive art experiences.

Little Italy is, of course, an ideal backdrop for the two-day festival as San Diego’s most popular dining destination and a great neighborhood to stroll through on a sunny day!

And it looks like it’s going to be a beautiful weekend!

Benefiting ArtReach

Each of ArtWalk San Diego’s festivals support, ArtReach San Diego, a nonprofit organization aimed at increasing equity in visual arts education in K-8 schools throughout San Diego County by delivering free or low-cost workshops to schools that have no other resources for art, focusing on Title One Schools. Many of the programs ArtReach offers are provided at no cost to schools.

Since 2007, ArtReach has served more than 30,000 students, county-wide.

The open-air event features enhanced cleaning protocols, and participants are asked to abide by any public health guidelines that are in effect at the time of the festival.

See you there!

The event will run from 11:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 29 and 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 30. Attendance is free.

The festival is brought to San Diego by the same team that brings ArtWalk @ Liberty Station to the ARTS DISTRICT in Liberty Station (this year, Aug. 2-4, 2024), ArtWalk Carlsbad to North County (this year, Sept. 21-22, 2024), and Bella Vita, a new chalk art event, also in Little Italy (this year, Oct. 19-20, 2024).

See you there, San Diego!
