The free annual festival attracts locals and visitors to San Diego’s Little Italy, giving all an opportunity to meet more than 250 local, national, and international artists, and purchase art directly from the artists. The event boasts artists from every medium of art, including painting, sculpture, glass work, photography, fine jewelry and more. After browsing and purchasing one-of-a-kind works of art, attendees can enjoy four stages of live music, interactive art experiences, street food, family-friendly art projects at KidsWalk and more.
This spring tradition is brought to San Diego by the same team that brings ArtWalk @ Liberty Station to the ARTS DISTRICT in Liberty Station (this year, Aug. 1-3, 2025) and ArtWalk Carlsbad to North County (Sept. 20-21, 2025), along with the third year of their newest event, Bella Vita Fest – a mix of chalk art and Italian wine (October 2025).
Each of ArtWalk San Diego’s festivals support their non-profit partner, ArtReach San Diego, an organization aimed at increasing equity in visual arts education in schools throughout San Diego County by delivering free or low-cost workshops to schools that have no other resources for art, focusing on Title One Schools. Many of the programs ArtReach offers are provided at no cost to schools.
Mission Fed ArtWalk attracts 100,000 art collectors and visitors from all over the country to purchase art from established and emerging artists during the two-day festival, located throughout San Diego’s Little Italy neighborhood.
The event will run from 11:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 26, and 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 27, along India Street in downtown San Diego. Attendance is free. More information will be released in the coming months.
