Busalacchi Restaurants is proud to announce the debut of The Feast, a new annual community celebration that will bring together food, family and tradition in the heart of Little Italy for years to come. The inaugural event will take place on Sunday, Oct. 11, 2026, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., transforming India Street into a one-night-only open-air dining experience unlike anything previously held in the neighborhood. To launch this new tradition, the first-ever Feast will commemorate a milestone year for the Busalacchi family: 40 years of serving San Diego and helping shape the evolution of Little Italy into one of the city's most celebrated culinary and cultural destinations. For one evening, India Street will close from Fir Street to Grape Street, creating a communal gathering space where guests will dine at long banquet tables stretching through the center of Little Italy. Inspired by the Italian tradition of gathering around the table, The Feast will invite attendees to enjoy a family-style dining experience beneath the stars and the neighborhood's iconic string lights while celebrating the people, businesses and relationships that have helped define Little Italy for generations. Envisioned as an annual tradition, The Feast will serve as a celebration of the Busalacchi family, their restaurants and the community that continues to make Little Italy one of San Diego's most vibrant neighborhoods. While this inaugural event honors the restaurant group's 40th anniversary, future editions of The Feast will continue the tradition of bringing people together through food, hospitality and shared experiences. The Feast will offer three ticket experiences, with special early reservation pricing available through Sept. 1, 2026: General Admission — $295 Early Reservation | $350 Standard • Access to The Feast from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. • Reception hour with grazing stations, entertainment and activations • Reserved seating at the communal dining table • Four-course family-style dinner by Barbusa with wine service • Live entertainment and post-dinner celebration VIP Admission — $395 Early Reservation | $450 Standard • Includes all General Admission benefits • Priority check-in • Premium dining seating • Exclusive Aperol Spritz welcome reception • VIP wine tasting station and upgraded wine offerings • Complimentary affogato, keepsake gift and valet parking Founder's Table — $3,250 Early Reservation | $3,750 Standard • Includes all VIP benefits • Premium reserved table for eight guests • Recognition on the table menu As part of its commitment to giving back to the community, The Feast will benefit The Positive Movement Foundation, a San Diego-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting underserved and at-risk children and youth. Through partnerships with seven local elementary and middle schools, as well as Juvenile Courts and Community Schools, the organization provides educational resources, scholarships, workshops, enrichment programs and student recognition initiatives at no cost to participating schools.

With vibrant flores, cafecito, and garden-fresh produce, the Chula Vista Farmers’ Market is a bounty for the senses. What started four years ago as a small gathering of farmers and artisans has flourished into a landmark destination for locals and tourists. Every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Park Way and Third Avenue, local artisans, business owners, and farmers come together to make the Chula Vista Farmers’ Market one of the most culturally rich and diverse markets in the country. With National Farmers' Market Week approaching this August, we’re celebrating and sharing the stories of the people who keep the city fresh, bountiful, and always Chula Vista. National Farmers’ Market Week is all about trading in the grocery store aisles for open-air vendors where visitors can meet the face that grows their food. Scorpion Farms have been long-time farmer favorites of Chula Vista. With fresh, Southern California-grown produce in every color, it's easy to create a vibrant, rainbow-filled plate. Established in 1976, Hidalgo Flowers lines the market with brightly colored floral arrangements thoughtfully curated for each season and holiday. Remember - no farms, no wine. Dancing Crow Vineyards tends 50 sustainable acres of grapes to bring their rosé, chardonnay and red blends to the market. Together, more than 100 tents full of local offerings create a shopping experience that perfectly reflects the spirit of this national week of celebration. When it comes to the vendors, there is no shortage of variety. For locally made cosmetics, Bloom Elixirs is mixing up luxurious clean-ingredient curly hair and skincare potions with love. If you’re looking for a bite between purchases, try one of the local pop-ups like Bomb Bibimbap and Sam’s Bread.
