The festival attracts locals and visitors giving all an opportunity to meet more than 250 local, national and international artists and purchase art directly from the creators. The largest and longest-running arts festivals in Southern California showcases every medium of art including painting, sculpture, glass work, photography, fine jewelry and more.
 
After browsing and purchasing one-of-a kind art, attendees can enjoy interactive art activities, family-friendly art projects at KidsWalk, street food, and live entertainment including a Gator by the Bay themed stage at the Piazza della Famiglia featuring a fabulous lineup of NOLA-style music.

This year’s event will also feature a vinyl art auction benefiting ArtReach San Diego. Over 100 vinyl records will be designed by participating artists including several well-known artists based here in San Diego and a group of 9th-12th grade student artists from a local school. Online bidding for the auction is now open and will close on May 1. To learn more about the auction and to place your bids, visit the ArtReach website.
