About Gaslamp Quarter
The Gaslamp Quarter is Southern California's premier dining, shopping, and entertainment district, where you'll find a truly eclectic blend of food, fun, and culture - all within one of San Diego's most historic areas. As the sun sets, the streets come alive in the Gaslamp Quarter. The old-fashioned gaslamps glow along the wide brick walkways, illuminating many charming sidewalk cafes. On streets filled with beautifully restored nineteenth century buildings, shops and restaurants vie for attention. One visit is all it takes to see why the Gaslamp Quarter has been called San Diego's liveliest neighborhood.
San Diego Street Scene 2005
Street Scene was born in 1984, not once, but twice! There were two Street Scenes that first year: one in May and one in August. Both events occupied just one block of downtown San Diego, on 5th Avenue between J & K Streets -a piece of pavement was part of the Street Scene footprint for 19 years. There was a stage at each end of the block, with concert-goers bouncing back and forth for alternating performances by Los Lobos and The Blasters in May, and by X, Robert Cray, and the Neville Brothers in August.
Today, Street Scene has emerged as a premiere musical event presenting top-rated artists along with a diverse array fo musical styles. From Grammy winners to emerging artists, the event continues to preserve its reputation as the top urban music festival in the country.
