Celebration Time – Come On!
We are one week away from celebrating Cinco de Mayo, and where better to celebrate it than the Birthplace of California, Old Town, San Diego ?
Did you know that California was discovered in Old Town? If you have yet to visit this neighborhood, I highly suggest you do. Originally claimed as “San Miguel”, our city began in Old Town. When you visit, not only are there all the resturants and little shops, but please do not miss the Old Town San Diego State HIstoric Park at the end of San Diego Avenue where you can see all of the homes and shops preserved as they were when San Diego was founded.
Next week on 5/1 and 5/2 is FREE 2 day fiesta celebrating the 27th Annual Cinco de Mayo celebration in Old Town. This neighborhood really comes to life with Mariachi, sizzling Flamenco, trinkets and jewelry to browse over, street vendors, food selections, and a beer garden.
Restaurants that come highly recommended are: Barra Barra, the Alamo, Jack and Giulio’s, and Fiesta de Reyes
Join in the festivities and see you in Old Town on 5/1, 5/2, and possibly even 5/5:)

I love to stroll through Old Town and look into the colorful shops and view the people relaxing at tables in the many restaurants that abound in the area.
It is especially exciting during celebrations when music fills the air and colorful costumes are worn by muscians and dancers alike. The happy sounds coming from the crowds of onlookers from every walk of life add a quality of excitement making for a very special atmosphere.
It’s great! Are you coming down for Cinco de Mayo?
