In it’s second annual return, Hillcrest presented another year of the Hoedown! We embraced the fall the season with our inspired street festival on Sunday, October 7 from 1 pm to 9:30 pm. We invited San Diego into the heart of eastern Hillcrest on University Avenue between Normal Street and Vermont Avenue. The Hoedown featured a grand stage with a country themed line up all day long, and line-dancing lessons on the hour.

We hosted a 21+ Street Side Saloon and a huge country style dance floor. This event was friendly for all ages. Resting spots were available for those who wished to cop a squat on a hay bail by the dance floor and watch all the action!

If your cowboy boots were feeling too broken in, we hope you were able to take a stroll to the Furry Foster Humane Petting Zoo and ‘ou and ah’ at all the rescue cuties. Furry Foster joined the Hoedown this year for an adoption event you didn’t wanna miss. We were happy to see some furry little lives saved and adopted Sunday.

Furry Foster is a non-profit organization dedicated to ending the euthanasia

of adoptable pets by connecting homeless pets with loving foster homes.

FOSTERING A free, fun, & fulfilling alternative to adoption.

This year past dusk, Hoedown attendees hit the casino tables in our free streetside saloon, cowboys and cowgirls were dealing up blackjack, craps and roulette from 5:30 – 9:30 PM on the streets of Hillcrest. And DJ’s spun country style dance music from 6:30 – 9:30 PM!

Hillcrest Hoedown’s Grand Stage was sponsored by San Diego’s very own, Urban Kickers. We were joined by M.C. Laura Jane and D.J. Jim Blair with entertainment beginning at 1pm. Hold onto your horses Hillcrest, take a look at the mighty fine lineup we had:
