Little Italy Chalka Festa


We went down for an infusion of art, San Diego style, to Corso degli Artisti (Street of the Artists): Little Italy’s Street Painting Festival. Per their website, the Little Italy Precious Festa “is known to be one of the largest single-day Italian American festivals West of the Mississippi.”


Professional artists and high school students display their talent at sponsored locations on Beech and Cedar streets. One artist had to contend with a strip of tire burn-out where chalk would not adhere. Thankfully the streets were closed to traffic and they didn’t have more to contend with.
