Spring Harp Fest is more than just a music festival; it’s a celebration of the harmonica and its vibrant community. 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. As a non-profit event, we focus on supporting youth music programs in San Diego. Your donations help provide harmonica instruction and instruments to children, fostering the next generation of musicians. Join us in this unique experience where music meets community, and every note played supports a brighter future for harmonica music. The Spring Harp Fest is a family-friendly, outdoor event located at Harry Griffen Park in La Mesa, California. 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. Again, suggested donation is just $20. Please donate what you can afford as every dollar helps. Visit: springharpfest.org/
