Bella Vita Fest celebrates Italian culture with chalk art, Italian music, food, and wine in the heart of San Diego’s Little Italy, October 21-22, 2023. More than 40 chalk artists, depicting Italian themes, will line the streets of Little Italy, with live Italian music, Italian wine tasting, Italian food booths, and Italian products for purchase. October is Italian Heritage month, and the festival celebrates the tradition of street painting which began in 16th century Italy with itinerant artists, many of whom had been brought into the cities to work on the huge cathedrals. Street painting thrives today in festivals throughout the world. Street painters prefer this temporary performance art form that is created live before your eyes on the asphalt. Little Italy has not enjoyed a chalk art festival since 2016, and event producers are thrilled to bring this inspiring art form back. For more information visit: bellavitafest.com

HENRY KAPONO ROSE TO IMMENSE POPULARITY with the phenomenon Cecilio & Kapono (aka C&K) as half of the duo with Cecilio Rodriguez.
