2014 Festa takes place tomorrow! The extremely popular event, this year celebrating its 20th anniversary, will be held as usual on the streets of Little Italy, a neighborhood on the north side of downtown San Diego. I’m excited!
Why?
The Gesso Italiano chalk art! Several city blocks will be overflowing with absolutely fantastic artistic creations! Perhaps you remember my blogs posts about the astounding chalk art at 2013 Festa. You’ll find them here, here and here.
Today a small army of artists began to work on a several block stretch of bare asphalt in San Diego. Tomorrow over a hundred thousand people will crowd Date Street and admire the finished masterpieces.
One block of Date Street has been reserved just for school kids! They were hard at work when I walked past today mid-afternoon!
Stand by for loads more photos tomorrow! I’m heading out to Festa in the early morning wearing comfortable walking shoes!

I’ll be taking those pics this morning, in several hours! Plus the dozens of chalk art entries by the adult participants! It’s going to make the most awesome blog post ever! (Hopefully.)

I love the see the fantastic work that artists do on the sidewalks and street. Here in South Florida, we have such street art, especially in Lake Worth. It’s unbelievable! Thanks for these photos. The kids are so talented.
