Join us Dec. 6 and 7 in beautiful Balboa Park for the City of San Diego's largest free holiday festival. The family-friendly December Nights celebration brings visitors and locals together to enjoy the lights, the sounds, the attractions and, of course, the amazing food.

Where the cars are the stars! The San Diego International Auto Show features the widest variety of new vehicles under one roof.

On Saturday, November 30th, 12:00pm-4:00pm Surfin’ Santa will break out his boardshorts and favorite Hawaiian shirt to spread holiday cheer in true SoCal fashion!  Bring the whole family and be sure to arrive early to snag a spot on the boardwalk for Santa's grand entrance, as he cruises in from the San Diego Bay by watercraft and leads a festive parade to the fountain courtyard.

Visitors can pose and have a free downloadable picture taken with Surfin’ Santa on his giant surfboard, riding a six-foot wave. After Surfin’ Santa has ridden his last wave he will lead guests along the boardwalk to witness the first snowfall of the season at Malibu Farm.

You’ll have “the world on a string” as we pay tribute to three of the most iconic divas in all of jazz in this tribute to Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughan. Don't miss our first jazz concert in the “new” Jacobs Music Center!
