Dine, Drink & Discover the culinary scene of downtown La Mesa at our 1st Annual Taste of La Mesa Village on Thursday, April 24, 2025 from 5 - 8 pm! Our thriving La Mesa Village has blossomed into an amazing community featuring a variety of restaurants, cafes, bars and winery over the past decade.
The event will feature a variety of stops at local restaurants & cafes to sample delicious food and non-alcoholic beverages. We will also feature a variety of alcohol vendors who will be set up at "Sip Stop" locations at several of our downtown La Mesa retail stores and businesses!
This is a walkable event that takes place along La Mesa Blvd. between Grant Ave. (Mario's) to Acacia Ave. (Farmer's Table). Guests will receive an event "Passport" map that will guide them to each participating location along the route.
Attendees will also be able to enjoy a variety of local art and music that will be set up along the Taste event route!
Stay tuned for more details coming soon!
