This annual North Park event by the San Diego Ceramic Connection and McKinley School Foundation not only serves as a fundraiser for McKinley’s music and arts programs, but is a great way to mix with the community and enjoy some delicious food!

2010 SoNo Park Holiday Fest

The 2010 SoNo Park Holiday Fest was a great success.  Thanks to our community and restaurants for your participation in the SoNo Park Holiday Fest! We sold close to 900 ceramic bowls and went through countless crockpots of chili. Most importantly, our friends, neighbors and businesses all had a good time while supporting McKinley’s arts and music programs.

Here are the results from our 8 judges who tasted the 18 restaurants represented.

Best Overall Chili: Ritual Tavern
Best Overall 2nd: Sombrero
Best Overall 3rd: Vagabond

Best Vegetarian 1st: SoHo Restaurant and Lounge
Best Vegetarian 2nd: Splash Wine Bar
Best Vegetarian 3rd: West Coast Tavern

Most Unique 1st: Vagabond
Most Unique 2nd: True North
Most Unique 3rd: Sombrero

It was truly amazing for a new event and we could not have done it without the generosity and support of the San Diego Ceramic Connection (thanks Kouta!).

The Parents and Teachers of McKinley Elementary and the SoNo Park community thank everyone who volunteered and attended.
