We are pleased to announce the sixth Annual ArtWalk Carlsbad! Located on Armada Drive, just above the beautiful Carlsbad flower fields, more than 200 visual artists will show and sell their work.

ArtWalk Carlsbad remains FREE TO ATTEND, featuring art from a multitude of different media. The event features visual arts, musical performances, and a kids’ interactive art area. ArtWalk’s mission is to promote art, education, and technology in the diverse cultural setting of San Diego. The 20,000 attendees include art enthusiasts and buyers, fellow artists, families, and casual visitors.

The ArtWalk management team will review all food vendors who apply and they will be accepted based on type of food item sold, display tent and if they have participated with us in the past.

Due to new City of Carlsbad rules, all tents must have a label that shows the tent is fire resistant. Additionally, the City of Carlsbad has implemented strict SINGLE-USE PLASTIC REDUCTION rules: Plastic beverage bottles under 1 liter are prohibited; food service ware must be compostable or reusable; plastic bags are not allowed.

As always, ArtWalk vendors will be highlighted in PR opportunities, including social media coverage, possible TV and radio spots, and will be advertised on our website from the point of acceptance to the date of the event.

If you are a first time applicant to ArtWalk, please include a photo of your food booth, menu items, and pricing with your application.

Keep in mind that there is no electricity available at ArtWalk. Vendors are to provide “quiet generators” for any power requirements and all food vendors must have current and up to date San Diego County Health Permit, seller’s permit, and Certificate of Insurance. Copies of these permits are required with your application.
