Join us on Dec. 1 and 2 for the City of San Diego's largest free holiday festival in beautiful Balboa Park. The family friendly event brings San Diegans together to enjoy the lights, the sounds, the attractions and of course, the amazing food.

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

The new exhibit transports visitors to a time when ocean travel was sedate, luxurious, and exclusive. This exhibit draws upon some of the Museum’s hidden treasures, never shown to the public. Its collection of ocean liner and cruise ship ephemera, numbering thousands of individual items, is one of the largest in California. Coupled with vintage brochures, passenger lists, menus, cabin plans, and images of dining rooms and recreational areas, the curators have gathered rare ocean liner-related artifacts from both the Maritime Museum of San Diego collection as well as those generously loaned by local private collectors. Displays cover more than 100 years of ocean-going recreational and destination travel, during the great age of steam, and invite visitors to journey back in time to the era of the great ocean liners of the 20th century.

Kick off the holiday season at the 2023 Encinitas Holiday Parade. The Parade begins at 5:30pm, heading south along South Coast Highway 101 from D Street to J Street and is expected to have approximately 90 entries, concluding at 7:30pm. The Holiday Parade is a long-standing tradition in Encinitas, bringing together the community for an evening of family fun for everyone.
