New for 2022 CityFest features an Art and Craft “ramble”. Unlike in previous years where crafters and artists are all stacked together, artists and performers, vendors, and attractions will be dispersed throughout the event all mixed together. We’re inviting you to explore neighborhood businesses along side exciting artists, creative food vendors, and unique crafter!

Our annual celebration of community spirit will feature live bands, electric dance music DJ's, arts, crafts, and food that attracts over 150,000+ visitors from San Diego and Southern California! This is San Diego's LARGEST and BEST art and music festival-- stretching nearly half a mile in size on over 9 city blocks! 

A grand stage with live music and headliner bands will keep you entertained from noon until 7 pm, followed by headliner DJ's and well-known talent until 11 pm. A massive cocktail bar and beer Garden featuring will keep you hydrated and entertained, and over 250 vendors will give you plenty of shopping opportunities.

Located in the colorful and vibrant community of Hillcrest- our quaint shops and restaurants along 5th, Robinson, and University will come alive with community spirit, giving you a place to dive into and explore! 

Renowned for its vibrant nightlife scene, international dining, and eclectic shopping, Hillcrest has been the home of the LGBT community for over 40 years. Known to locals as "Pride-Light," Hillcrest CityFest is a celebration of our landmark Hillcrest sign, our residents and our businesses-- who have been champions for equality, diversity, and inclusion in San Diego and beyond. 

We look forward to seeing you next summer at Hillcrest CityFest!
