The Bonita Museum & Cultural Center is excited to bring back an event that highlights local restaurants and chefs in the Sweetwater Valley. Saturday, September 27, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., join us for a night of great food, friends, and music. Guests will enjoy tastes from local restaurants, showcasing the diverse and exciting cuisines of the region. The museum will be open late for visitors to enjoy. This signature fundraising event supports free educational and public programs for over 5000 school children and community members in the South Bay. During the event, enjoy visiting the museum at night and learning about South Bay San Diego art, history and culture. Bonita is located in a rural unincorporated part of San Diego County nestled in the Sweetwater River Valley. Find out about the rustic character of the valley through artifacts and history objects in the museum. Nearly 1,000 acres of the valley are permanently preserved as open space, including much of the riverbed. Several stables operate in the valley and horses are not an uncommon site on the miles of trails that crisscross the valley. At the museum be on the lookout for fossils from the area, the footprint of the Proctor Valley Monster as well as Henrietta, the Rhode Island Red chicken.

Join us for a live Artist Q&A as Joseph leads a timely, thought-provoking conversation on today’s most pressing creative topics: AI and the future of art, art as resistance and connection, why collecting art matters, and how we can stay human in an image-saturated world.

Located above the Flower Fields, ArtWalk Carlsbad is back for its 6th year, bringing fine art, live music, and interactive art experiences, offered free to attendees. In a venue overlooking the ocean, guests can explore different facets of art, while enjoying beautiful coastal views. The weekend-long festival focuses on fine art for sale by local artists, as well as those who travel from all over the U.S. and Mexico to show and sell their work. The event will display every medium of art, including painting, sculpture, glass work, fine jewelry, photography and more. More than 150 fine artists’ work will be featured, along with interactive art for families at KidsWalk, a full palette of musical performers, food trucks and stands, and more. The event will be fenced, even though admission is free; the fence allows attendees to enjoy beer and wine (to those 21-years and over), while strolling around the event, rather than having to remain in a Beer Garden. New this year, there will be a pavilion, sponsored by Wilsey Asset Management, to offer shade for the warm early fall weekend. It will be located in the middle of the event, adjacent to the Beer Garden and midway music stage, providing some additional seating.
