About Fiesta del Sol

Our 3rd Annual Fiesta del Sol is a FREE two-day street festival celebrating the history, diverse cultures, and engagement of the people of San Diego. It is a fun, FAMILY-FRIENDLY, alcohol and tobacco free event focused on creating positive change by empowering our communities. Given the success of our previous two years, the 2008 Fiesta del Sol promises to be even better!

Fiesta del Sol in Chicago

Fiesta del Sol-San Diego is modeled after the Fiesta del Sol in Chicago, which has been organized by JOB’s sister organization, the Pilsen Neighbors Community Council, for thirty-five years. The Chicago Fiesta del Sol draws over one million people, and is recognized as one of the four largest Latino street festivals in the United States. www.fiestadelsol.org
