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. This year, on Friday, August 2 we are excited to host our second ever Bayside Bocce Ball Tournament at the Little Italy Amici Park! The bocce courts are adjacent to the historic, original site of our center at 250 W. Date Street. Come out and enjoy this fun and traditional Italian field game with us! Proceeds and donations from this event support our continued work to empower diverse communities throughout San Diego.

Each team registration included one team entry into the tournament, four t-shirts, as well as access to food and beverages. Appetizers, lunch, and refreshments from local Little Italy businesses are available for all in attendance.
