The San Diego Festival Of Arts Is Back And At A New Location

Follow your Art and join the San Diego Festival of the Arts Foundation, Inc. in celebrating the 35th San Diego Festival of the Arts™ at an all-new North San Diego location, the San Diego Surf Sports Park, formerly the Del Mar Polo Fields.

Interact with 150+ critically acclaimed fine artists from around the country while enjoying live music and catching the ocean breeze on the open green turf.

In addition to art, you’ll be treated to an array of palate-pleasing cuisine from San Diego’s favorite restaurants while sipping local craft beer, fine wine, and spirits.

The Festival is produced in part by San Diego Magazine, and in part by the San Diego Festival of the Arts Foundation, Inc., a non-profit organization that raises funds to support adaptive sports and recreation programs for San Diegans with disabilities, creating a unique opportunity to combine your support for adaptive programs and services that help those who have incurred serious and long-term injuries, and artists who work hard to bring beauty, creativity, and imagination to us every day.

Take the opportunity to help support your community, meet special people and enjoy a wonderful day of art and music! Active Military with proper ID are free!

The new location boasts plenty of on-site parking for $10 per vehicle for the day.

See you there, San Diego!
