Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with featured music at 7 p.m., hosted by the organization’s President and curator Lindsay White.

About the Featured Artists Ms. Connie Ms. Connie is a bilingual singer-songwriter blending pop, Latin rhythms, acoustic sounds, and soulful storytelling into music that feels honest, free, and unapologetically human. Born in California, raised in Mexico City, and now based in San Diego, Ms. Connie brings both sides of her cultural identity into her music, moving naturally between English and Spanish and between vulnerability and strength. Her songs explore love, heartbreak, self-love, identity, freedom, and the courage to be yourself. Ms. Connie was recently selected by the Old Globe to perform her original music in the local production of Broadway-bound musical "Begin Again." Earlier this year, she was also a featured artist on the song "SDFSHE," a single released through the San Diego FC Playmakers Music Collective. With collaborations across the arts scene and influences ranging from Latin music to folk, pop, and singer-songwriter traditions, she doesn’t believe in fitting into one box or one genre. Each song follows the emotion and tells its own story. Sam Franz Sam Franz is a singer-songwriter originally from San Jose, now calling San Diego home. A rising independent artist, Sam (along with cowriter Mary Matthew, who is unable to join us this month) crafts songs that explore heartbreak, friendship, and love. The two are set to release a new single called “The Villain” on October 29 in collaboration with American Idol alum Noel Tsoukalas. DEIDRE DEIDRE is a San Diego-based singer-songwriter blending folk and indie influences into introspective songs. Originally from Michigan, her storytelling captures the bittersweet details of everyday life. With lyrics that feel like being lost in thought in a crowded room, she invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences.

Bring the whole famiglia to enjoy the sights, sounds and flavors of everything Italiano! October is Italian Heritage month, and the festival celebrates the tradition of street painting which began in 16th century Italy with traveling artists, many of whom had been brought into the cities to work on the cathedrals. When the work was done, they would often recreate the paintings of “Madonna” on the pavement; they became known as Madonnari. Street painting thrives today in festivals throughout the world. Street painters prefer this temporary performance art form that is created live before the eyes on the asphalt. For more information on Bella Vita Fest, please visit www.bellavitafest.com.
