Festival of Trees 2024 Ryan Bedrosian

By JP Emerson

Please introduce yourself (tell us a little about you)? 

My name is Ryan Bedrosian, owner of Rich’s nightclub. I’m originally from New Jersey but for the most part was raised here in San Diego. I have owned Rich’s for almost 5 years now after being the general manager for 12 years. I am also the President of the Hillcrest Business Association. 

Tell us about being part of the Festival of Trees 2024? 

Festival of Tree’s is such a fun event for a good cause. It’s so much fun to see all the different themes everyone comes up with for their tree’s. The event itself is also so much for with so many people from our community all dressed up for the holidays! 

Rich’s just celebrated 33 years, how does it feel to be one of the most successful nightclubs in our community?

Very fortunate, Rich’s is continuing to grow and get bigger than ever. It’s sad to see so many clubs close over the years, but I feel very excited and hopefully to continue to produce fun events for our community. 

Rich’s is always giving back to the community and hosting plenty of fundraisers, and we are very thankful to you and your team for always helping out. Can you talk about the importance of supporting and giving back to the community?

Hillcrest is a community and we are a part of that. When the community supports us, it’s our responsibility to give back to them. 

Festival of Trees kicks off the holiday season, how do you get in the spirit? 

Well, we start with some Mariah Carey! Haha I’ve always loved the holidays, the parties, everyone is so happy and full of love, unless you’re out shopping, I guess. What a great way to kick off the holiday season with such an incredible event to raise money for an incredible cause.
