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.

Enjoy a fusion of the color and traditions of both Mexican & American Christmas songs with Mariachi Sol de Mexico’s A Merry-achi Christmas. This family-friendly show is a unique fiesta of favorite holiday tunes from both sides of the border, brought to life with the blazing sounds of a world-renowned Mariachi ensemble. 
 
A Merry-achi Christmas is proudly presented by San Diego Theatres at Balboa Theatre in the Gaslamp District on December 10, 2024. Tickets are available at San Diego Theatres and Ticketmaster. 

For more 40 years, our quaint little surfing village of Ocean Beach has hosted one of the best Holiday Parades in SoCal. On the first Saturday in December, Newport Avenue is lined with colorful OBceans and visitors all eagerly awaiting the commencement of the 44th Annual OB Holiday Parade at Sunset!
