Where the cars are the stars! The San Diego International Auto Show features the widest variety of new vehicles under one roof.

The San Diego Bay Parade of Lights is a time-honored holiday tradition brought to San Diego by the boating community. Continuing its long-standing San Diego tradition, the annual San Diego Bay Parade of Lights promises to dazzle and entertain bayfront crowds during 2 evenings on Sundays, December 10 and December 17, 2023. Participants in this year’s highly anticipated holiday boat parade will decorate their boats to fit the Traditions of Christmas theme.

Maritime Museum of San Diego has been known for years as the best place on the waterfront to view the annual Parade of Lights on San Diego Bay from the Museum’s historic 1898 steam ferry boat Berkeley located along Star of India wharf. 

Parade of Lights Dinner tickets are a great value with dinner, boat parade viewing, and museum general admission (valid before the dinner only) included.

The Maritime Museum of San Diego is the only attraction to offer this popular day sail adventure experience aboard San Salvador, a replica of Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo’s ship that arrived at the port we now call San Diego on September 28, 1542. These 4-hour Sailing Adventures are for people who love history and sailing. Few 21st Century people have sailed aboard a 16th Century galleon. You can become one of them. No sailing experience is required. An invaluable addition to your experience is the onboard historian who will explain how the San Salvador was sailed, navigated and defended. 

In addition to learning about the exploration of the West Coast, guests can assist the sail crew, enhancing their back-in-time experience.

Your tickets include general admission to visit the Museum fleet of ships and exhibits before your sail!

Miniature Treasures of the Qing Dynasty & Beyond promises to be a fascinating display of history and art, showcasing over 120 exquisite snuff bottles from across the centuries.  We hope that visitors will be captivated by the history behind each unique piece.
