Description

For years, the Barrio Logan neighborhood has been one of San Diego’s best kept secrets. Earned by its well-crafted community of art, culture, and creativity, Barrio Logan has been designated as one of California’s Cultural Districts, which promote artistic areas with high concentrations of cultural resources and activities. This neighborhood has much to offer, from plenty of artist collectives and galleries to eateries, breweries, and shops.

We’ll visit Barrio Logan’s heart, Chicano Park, and take in its massive murals and vibrant public art. This area’s origin as an art-centric neighborhood can be traced back to the 1960s, when residents fought for the park and the rest of their land by painting enormous, colorful murals on the pillars of the Coronado Bridge to protest its encroachment on their community. Today, this art-filled landmark houses the largest collection of Chicano murals in the world, and is also a hub for cultural traditions and celebrations throughout the year. Along the way, Mark will also highlight some of the community’s delightful local dining options.

There’s so much culture to be explored in Barrio Logan, so join us for this enlightening tour!
