Multicultural Events and Meetings

San Diego has a rich multicultural tapestry

The historic murals in Chicano Park and Balboa Park, Malcolm X Library in East San Diego, Martin Luther King Promenade and Chinese Historic District in downtown San Diego are just a few examples of the multicultural tributes evident throughout the county.

Experience San Diego's Diversity

We take great pride in preserving our heritage and culture. San Diego's festivals, neighborhoods, theaters, museums and dining opportunities reflect diverse cultures and lifestyles, including African-American, Asian-American, Latin-American, Native American, gay and lesbian, Jewish and more.
