Carlsbad Charitable Foundation Final Report

Village Music Walk Expansion: September 20, 2013 and June 21, 2014

The Carlsbad Music Festival Village Walk, held in September 2013 and June 2014 was an admission-free community event that featured a full evening of 50+ performances of world-class, adventurous music of all kinds in indoor and outdoor venues around Carlsbad Village. The Walk was attended by over 2500 people in September 2013 and more than 3000 in June 2014, and the atmosphere was electric. Venues were located within walking distance of one another throughout the Village of Carlsbad and included  St. Michael’s By-the-Sea Episcopal Church, Magee Park, State and Grand parking lot, Visit Carlsbad (old train station), Spin Records, New Village Arts Theatre, Giacoletti Music, Carlsbad Village Yoga & Fitness and Seaworthy. In both 2013 and 2014, the Walk ran from 4pm-10pm with 20 minute sets starting every half hour. With over 50 performances to choose from each night, walk attendees chose their own pathway through the music and the Village.

“Without a doubt, the finest event Carlsbad has to offer throughout the year!!!” -Roy Good, Manager, Giacoletti Music
