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.

As the perfect event for spooky season, and the kick-off of the series, the evening’s feature is The Phantom of the Opera from 1925, the first film adaptation of Gaston Leroux's 1910 horror novel. Lon Chaney’s portrayal of the titular character, a deformed virtuoso haunting the Paris Opera House, has been lauded as one of the greatest performances in horror cinema to date. Upon entering the theater, VIP guests will be treated to an exclusive prelude with organist Russ Peck who will share the history of the theater’s organ and his unique approach to crafting a silent film score that echoes the era in which the films were created.
