The Escondido Downtown Business Association and City Gates Events debut “Gather on Grand,” a new Escondido Street Festival celebrating community and connection in North San Diego County, on Sunday, October 25, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The inaugural festival takes over Historic Grand Avenue between Escondido Boulevard and Ivy Street in Downtown Escondido with professional live music across multiple stages, a beer and wine garden, and the popular “Art in the Garden” display in the Heritage Garden area. Hundreds of vendors will sell handcrafted gifts, imports, and international cuisine, with something for the whole family.
Gather on Grand is a separate event from the long-running Escondido Grand Avenue Festival, held earlier each October on the same street.
