San Diego, CA–Music En La Calle, the free music festival and street fair that brings together colorful musical performances representing a wide range of cultures and styles, returns to City Heights for the fifth time.
Presented by Bodhi Tree Concerts, a San Diego nonprofit that presents music events featuring local artists and donates the profits to charitable causes, Music En La Calle premiered in 2018 to great acclaim from the City Heights community and San Diego at large.
Music En La Calle takes place on June 24 from 12 noon to 6 p.m. at Tierra Central at the corner of 41st Street and University Avenue in City Heights. Admission is free and open to all. Free, secure parking is available.
Artists performing will include Irving Flores Latin Jazz, Naruwan Taiko, Tracy Lee Nelson, Mariachi Victoria, Flamenco Bohemio, Akayaa Atule, Bolga Zohdoomah, and Opera de Tijuana, among other musical guests. Special events include a free book giveaway for kids, free crafts for kids, international food vendors, and vendors of arts and crafts.
“Walter and I are so excited to bring Music En La Calle back to City Heights and the San Diego community for our fifth terrific year,” says Bodhi Tree Concerts co-director Diana DuMelle.
The couple was inspired to create Music En La Calle when they attended and performed with Opera en la Calle in Tijuana, and wanted to bring together the finest local artists as a gift to their community.
