Reminiscent of Venice, Italy, San Diego’s Little Italy community brings an artsy evening full of whimsical surprises with vignettes of entertainment at the 10th Annual Little Italy Carnevale on Saturday, February 9th from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. This family friendly experience is based off Italian traditions and is free to attend thanks to presenting sponsor Alliance Residential Company and support from Buon Appetito, Kettner House, Craft & Commerce and many others.
Carnevale, also known as Carnival or Mardi Gras, marks the final celebration prior to Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent season. People of all ages, from two to 92 are encouraged to participate in the festivities, including the spontaneous performances on street corners and Little Italy Piazzas designed to evoke the playful vibe of the event. Attendees will get a taste of Italian tradition and see how Venetian masks are made and worn to celebrate Carnevale.
Parking is available and Little Italy Valet will be available at a cost of $7 per car. Attendees are also encouraged to take advantage of the trolley that brings riders to the Little Italy Trolley stop, located a few blocks from the event.
