Returning to Little Italy, for 39 years, Mission Fed ArtWalk has celebrated both visual and performing arts in San Diego. We believe art has the power to connect communities, cultivate new artistic talent and create a better quality of life for all through cultural enrichment.

For more than sixty years, Mother Nature has transformed the rolling hills of North San Diego County into one of the most spectacular and coordinated displays of natural color and beauty anywhere in the world. The nearly fifty acres of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers that make up the Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch in Carlsbad, California, are in bloom for approximately six to eight weeks each year - from early March through early May - literally bringing the famous fields back to life. This annual burst of color, which has become part of the area’s local heritage, also is one of nature’s official ways of announcing the arrival of spring here in Southern California.

Celebrate the return of Art Alive with an impressive display of colorful floral arrangements interpreting works of art from the Museum’s collection and four days of sensational events from Thursday, March 30–Sunday, April 2, 2023. 

The 2023 Cinco De Mayo Sunset San Salvador Sail experience for Cinco de Mayo returns Friday, May 5th! Staged aboard the 16th century galleon replica, San Salvador, this 21 and up event magically transports you back in time when explorer Juan Rodriquez Cabrillo’s vessel reached America’s West Coast in 1542.

The festivities include lovely live Spanish guitar music, custom cocktails, delicious food, all while underway on the Bay aboard this lovely vessel representative of Spanish Pacific Heritage. Cinco de Mayo is the perfect holiday to celebrate aboard the Museum’s Spanish galleon replica San Salvador!
