10th Annual Art and Wine Festival

Ramona H.E.A.R.T. Murals Project

The main goal of the Ramona H.E.A.R.T. Mural Project is to create a reason for those passing tourists to STOP to enjoy Ramona’s beauty, charm, character, and heritage and to rest a spell.  After looking at the examples set by other mural towns, a group of Ramona business people came together to launch an aggressive outdoor visual arts program, starting with murals.

  • H for Historic and Hiking
  • E for Equine
  • A for Arts, Antiques and Agriculture

It was very nice to gather again. Everyone was so excited to attend the event. It will be great to see the new murals that result from this festival.
