The University of San Diego has been a sponsor of the annual Linda Vista Multicultural Fair since its inception 31 years ago and features a variety of activities and themes:
The parade begins at 11:00 AM and features marching bands, officials, clubs and others taking part. Public officials will also participate along with many VIPs. The parade route is just under one mile long, from Genesee Avenue to the Fairgrounds in the 6900 block of Linda Vista Road, between Ulric and Comstock Streets. The streets will be closed in that area, with plenty of street parking in the nearby vicinity. University of San Diego President James Harris is the 2016 Grand Marshal.
The World Arts Village provides an opportunity for multi-cultural folk artists and fine crafts people to present and sell their work in an exclusive exhibit area. The village will feature hand-made textiles, pottery, jewelry, glasswork and other visual arts. Artisans will demonstrate their crafts and provide hands-on workshops for all ages.
Musical performers will entertain visitors and an outstanding exhibition of time-honored cultural artwork will be on display during the day.
Kids Zone Activities: magician, clown, hat making, bouncer, giant puzzle, arts and crafts and many more surprises!
Education Lane is an area of the fair designated for educational institutions and youth-based community initiatives to share information and activities about their organizations with parents and youth in the community. Each booth aims to encourage the youth of Linda Vista to commit to their education and set the personal goal for themselves to attend college.
International Food Court offers delicacies from all over the world, including Egyptian, Thai, Chinese, Filipino, Mexican and American. Come enjoy the Main Stage entertainment as you sit under the shade umbrellas in the International food court!
Carnival Zone features rides like the Scrambler, the Giant Slide and Pony Rides with new and exciting rides for kids of all ages.
