San Diego Festival of Arts

The San Diego Festival of the Arts is a two-day celebration that brought more than 100,000 attendees and showcased nearly 200 acclaimed artists from across the country. Set against the scenic bayfront, the festival featured fine art, live entertainment, interactive activities, and a lively culinary experience with tastings from San Diego’s top restaurants, craft breweries, and wineries.

As producer, I oversaw all aspects of the event, from programming and logistics to partnerships and guest experience. A highlight of the festival included a charity auction with more than 100 items, with proceeds supporting adaptive sports and recreation programs for San Diegans with disabilities—making the event both a cultural landmark and a force for community impact.
