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.

Experience one of San Diego’s largest Military events featuring Military Displays, High Tech equipment in the Innovation Zone, Active Navy & Coast Guard Ship Tours, Live Music, Food, and Fun for the whole family!

Nearly 100 parade entries will roll, march, cycle, scoot and cruise down the Coast Highway on the most magical night of the year. 

The perfect way to celebrate Veteran’s Day! View the parade from the shore of Shelter Island, Harbor Island, San Diego Embarcadero, Seaport Village and Coronado Tidelands Park.

Not only is the public invited to San Diego Bay to watch the procession of military-themed decorated boats, you can show your patriotism by entering your boat! Boats of all sizes are invited to salute and honor our active duty and retired service members. ELABORATE DECORATIONS ARE ENCOURAGED!
