Little Italy FESTA!
Thank You! Your rating has been saved.
In 1994, a dream came to fruition. In the month of October, 19 years ago, the Little Italy community opened its streets to San Diego residents, and welcomed visitors from all over. The Little Italy Association (LIA) and a small group of community members organized a festival that celebrated Italian culture not only in the entertainment provided, on the one stage, but the types of vendors that were allowed to display their wares along India Street.
Today Little Italy San Diego welcomes more than 120,00 visitors from all over the country - from all over the WORLD - to celebrate in the country's largest Italian homecoming.

- Italian food served al fresco throughout the neighborhood reflecting a wide variety of specialties;
