Bayside was founded in the heart of Little Italy in 1932 with the goal of empowering a new, emergent community in San Diego. Over nine decades later, Little Italy is a vibrant, thriving San Diego community full of life and culture. We are so proud to be a part of this neighborhoods rich history! This year, we are excited to host our fourth annual Bayside Bocce Ball Tournament! We can’t wait to see many friends, both old and new, come out and enjoy this fun and traditional Italian field game with us! Proceeds and donations from the event support our continued work to empower diverse communities throughout San Diego. Stay tuned for information regarding this year’s Bocce Ball Tournament.
