English: The Fiesta de Reyes ("Festival of Kings") is a concession in the Old Town San Diego State Historic Park in San Diego, California which includes restaurants and shops. It was originally the "Bazaar del Mundo" ("Bazaar of the World") and was run by San Diego businesswoman Diane Powers. In a controversial move, in 2005 the state park agency did not renew her contract but awarded it to Plaza del Pasado ("Plaza of the Past"), run by Delaware North Companies. The goal was to create a more authentic and historically accurate presentation of life and commerce in San Diego from 1821 to 1872. However revenue plunged under the new management. In spring 2009, Delaware North withdrew from its contract with the state and management changed hands to the Old Town Family Hospitality Corporation, headed by local restaurateur Chuck Ross.
