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.

In the Holiday Street Fair, continuous since 1989, children’s rides, two stages of live entertainment and food and drink refreshments provide an attractive setting for the public and a great boon to our vendors.

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.
