Amid balloons, music and a red carpet, the La Jolla Village Merchants Association held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the 39 businesses that opened in The Village during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The festivities which included a visit from San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria, plus raffle prizes, refreshments and informational booths hosted by some of the new businesses took place June 15, the day California ended most COVID-related mandates on masks and gatherings.

After cutting the ribbon, Gloria said he was “really happy” to see business start to return to usual. “As we start to leave our homes and start to redo things as we have done in the past, it’s really important to center our small local businesses … [that] need us more than ever,” he said.
