La Jolla Art & Wine Festival

Set along Girard Avenue, the annual gathering brings together artists from across the U.S. and Mexico working in jewelry design, fine glass, woodwork, mixed media, and photography. The street footprint also makes room for gourmet food vendors, a silent auction, and pet adoption stations. Pours in the wine and beer garden highlight over 35 international wineries, local craft breweries, and craft distilleries, with all festival proceeds going directly to underfunded programs at La Jolla public schools.
