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.

A 10-day celebration, promoting more than 150 independent craft breweries in San Diego County. San Diego Beer Week is brought to you by the San Diego Brewers Guild, with participation from the region's local craft breweries, allied and affiliate members. San Diego Beer Week is taking place November 1-10 with events being held throughout San Diego County at participating breweries, bars, restaurants and more!

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.

Immerse yourself in an intimate four-course dining experience on Dockside 1953's patio overlooking Mission Bay, curated by Executive Chef Bryan Stuppy. Complete with optional wine and cocktail pairings, each dinner is a journey through the season's essence, featuring expertly prepared dishes showcasing fresh seafood, meat, and produce. Plus, take home your own San Diego cookbook, featuring Chef Stuppy's creations and contributions from other local chefs.
