For more than sixty years, Mother Nature has transformed the rolling hills of North San Diego County into one of the most spectacular and coordinated displays of natural color and beauty anywhere in the world. The nearly fifty acres of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers that make up the Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch in Carlsbad, California, are in bloom for approximately eight to ten weeks each year - from early March through early May - literally bringing the famous fields back to life. This annual burst of color, which has become part of the area’s local heritage, also is one of nature’s official ways of announcing the arrival of spring here in Southern California.

Foodies and craft beer aficionados will love SeaWorld's Seven Seas Craft Beer & Food Festival, featuring craft beer from favorite local breweries, plus fresh international cuisine infused with local, sustainable ingredients and unique signature flavors from around the world.

Celebrate Cinco de Mayo with a golden-hour sail aboard the historic San Salvador, featuring live Spanish guitar, handcrafted cocktails, and breathtaking views of San Diego Bay.

Enjoy the romantic sounds of live Spanish guitar, sip custom cocktails, and savor light Mexican-inspired appetizers as you cruise the bay on this majestic vessel, a symbol of Spanish Pacific heritage. It’s a Cinco de Mayo celebration like no other!
