Annual Little Italy ArtWalk in Downtown San Diego has New Sponsor
This year's ArtWalk in Little Italy is now officially sponsored by Mission Federal Credit Union. 2009 marks the 25th year of this wide-ranging outdoor free event held on the streets of Little Italy, one of downtown San Diego's most vibrant and unique neighborhoods.
The event will be held on Saturday April, 25 and Sunday April 26 from noon to 6 PM on both days. For the past 25 years the event has attracted upwards of one hundred thousand visitors. In recent years, the event has added an additional one million dollars to the local economy. The event gives visitors and locals alike the opportunity to not only see and purchase art from a vast array of artisans, but to meet and greet them as well.
Food vendor galore will also take part in the 16-block festival offering a wide range of tempting choices. Trolley service direct to the festival is available and can alleviate the problem with parking congestion. Take the Blue line to the County Center/Little Italy stop and you will find yourself just steps away from the heart of the festival.
