FAIR@44 International Market is Moving!

After 8 wonderful years being hosted by Price Philanthropies, we are moving to make way for a three-story, 21,454-square-foot mixed-use commercial building that will bring new services and fresh energy to City Heights, with groundbreaking coming soon..

The last day at Fair@44 is Wednesday, August 27th. Look for us at our new location at El Cajon Blvd & Winona Ave in October!

The Fair@44 is a community-activated lot located in City Heights. It houses Dojo Café and an International Marketplace of start-up entrepreneurs from the Mid-City’s neighborhoods and our immigrant and refugee communities. The Boulevard BIA works with the IRC to give new small business owners a place to sell their products and interact with the community and new customers. Most of these businesses are women-, minority-owned businesses from immigrant communities.

Dojo Café Hours: TBD
