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.

Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas! is a wonderful, whimsical musical based upon the classic Dr. Seuss book. Back for another incredible year, the family favorite features the songs “Santa for a Day,” “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch,” and “Welcome, Christmas (Fah Who Doraze),” the delightful carol from the popular animated version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Celebrate the holidays as the Old Globe Theatre is once again transformed into the snow-covered Who-ville, right down to the last can of Who-hash.

Just in time for the Holidays, come support local San Diego businesses and find the perfect gifts! Food will be available in the lower garden.

Savor traditional favorites and gourmet specialties including roasted turkey, slow-roasted prime rib, and an array of seafood delights like pan-seared ahi tuna, shrimp cocktail, and seafood cioppino. Our celebrational buffet also features butternut squash soup, a variety of fresh salads, and an assortment of sides including Yukon gold mashed potatoes and brioche bread soyrizo stuffing. For dessert, treat yourself to pumpkin cheesecake, apple cobbler, sweet potato crème brûlée, and more. Priced at $90 for adults and $39 for children, this is the perfect opportunity to gather with loved ones and give thanks over delicious food and great company.
