One of La Jolla’s biggest and most colorful weekends of the year is almost here! The 18th Annual La Jolla Art & Wine Festival takes over Girard Avenue Saturday & Sunday, October 10–11, from 10 AM–6 PM.
This beloved two-day festival transforms the heart of the Village into an outdoor celebration of creativity, community and fun. Explore work from talented juried artists, enjoy live entertainment, delicious food, family activities and, of course, the always-popular Wine & Beer Garden. While festival admission is free, Wine and Beer Garden Tickets can be purchased HERE.
Best of all, festival proceeds support important programs at La Jolla’s public schools, so having a great time does some good, too!
