- Celebrate the holidays at The Old Globe. The San Diego staple brings several classics to life, including How The Grinch Stole Christmas and Ebenezer Scrooge’s BIG San Diego Christmas Show.
- See what you can find wandering the Holiday Market at Petco Park. Found in Gallegher Square, the market runs through December, but check the site for the most up-to-date information regarding hours.
- Balbo Park December Nights will return the first weekend of December. The two-day festival includes carolers, light displays, and delicious food.
- The Port of San Diego Bay Parade of Lights is a San Diego tradition. Taking place twice in December, the bay is filled with dozens of boats all done up for the season and is one of the most anticipated parades of the year.
- For an easy way to see holiday lights, reserve your spot on the Old Town Trolley’s Holiday Sights & Festive Nights Tour. Enjoy singing classic carols with other riders while the conductor shares holiday facts and trivia.
