Every year, harmonica enthusiasts gather to enjoy a diverse lineup of performers, from local talents to renowned artists. The Spring Harp fest also extends beyond entertainment.

Although the event is free, there will be a $20 suggested donation requested upon entering the festival. Everyone is invited to pack a frisbee or hula hoop for the kids, water, sunscreen, blanket or beach chair. Join us for good old fashioned afternoon in the park. You can even bring your leashed dog and a cooler. And don’t forget your smile. The address is 9550 Milden St. La Mesa, CA 91942. It is behind Grossmont High School.
