Located on Mingei’s free Entry Level, Tuck and Roll showcases over 80 armadillo figures from Mingei’s permanent collection! Featuring works made by artisans across the Americas, this playful installation emphasizes the joy of making things by hand and how these extraordinary creatures have delighted people’s imagination.

Mission Fed ArtWalk is San Diego’s original fine art festival, filling the streets of San Diego’s Little Italy district with more than 250 visual artists, four music stages, interactive art for families, food and fun.

We believe that art is not a luxury. Owning original art, and having an opportunity to meet the creators, adds meaning and inspiration to life. Artists travel from across the US and Mexico to show and sell their work.

ArtWalk is a grand celebration you won’t want to miss!

Our favorite culinary event of the season, Taste of Little Italy will be held on Tuesday, June 17, 2025 and Wednesday, June 18, 2025 from 4:00pm to 8:00pm. Join us both nights, and make your way through 48-square-blocks sampling some of the best bites and sips our beautiful neighborhood has to offer. Each evening will showcase different restaurants, each just as delicious as the last.

Upon arrival, attendees will check-in at the Piazza della Famiglia and receive a Taste Passport. Guests will then make their way to each restaurant stop, taking away their “tastes” to enjoy at their leisure. If you would prefer to sit and enjoy your treats, seating will be available at the Piazza della Famiglia as well as live music at Piazza della Famiglia and Piazza Basilone.

Join us in the Living Room for an evening of soothing melodies and vibrant tunes performed by talented local musicians.
