City Heights CDC’s 4th annual Winter Extravaganza brought snow to Teralta Park, along with a community toy distribution and local vendors, inviting residents and neighbors to enjoy a free and festive holiday celebration in City Heights.

Residents, families, and local businesses filled University Avenue for CicloSDias, a celebration of car-free streets, transforming over a mile of our busy corridor into an open street, welcoming everyone to walk, bike, skate, and explore our community. 

Two hundred volunteers joined us to beautify University Avenue in City Heights. In partnership with the City Heights Business Improvement District and Maintenance Assessment District, Beautify the Block revitalized one of our neighborhood’s busiest corridors. 

With the debut of the Street Food Fest Passport and entertainment by Bodhi Tree Concerts, this year’s festival celebrated the neighborhood’s food and art culture. Street Food Fest returns Saturday, June 13, 2026.

As part of a statewide and national initiative led by Latino Prosperity, City Heights CDC co-hosted an afternoon of powerful dialogue on Latinx economic prosperity in San Diego, bringing together more than 20 Latinx leaders, advocates, and professionals.

The 2024 City Heights Winter Extravaganza was a success. Thank you to the City of San Diego Parks and Recreation Department, the Toys-for-Tots Foundation, CDC team members and volunteers, community partners, and especially the dedicated business owners who participated as vendors.
