San Diego horse racing takes place where the "turf meets the surf" at the Del Mar Racetrack. Fans flock to the track each summer to wager on their favorite horses during the popular, annual Del Mar Racetrack racing season, mid-July - early-September. Be part of the magic and nostalgia of this long-time horse race tradition dating back to 1937 when Bing Crosby greeted the first guests, and Seabiscuit won by a nose in the infamous race in 1938. This season features the nation's top racehorses, trainers and jockeys, and plenty of fun in the sun.

Sparks Gallery will transform into a collaborative space to showcase several other San Diego galleries under one roof in a short-term take-over of Sparks Gallery.

Sparks Gallery owner Sonya Sparks explains, “Our aim through this collaborative pop up is to bring together a diverse community of local arts agents into a unified, collective effort to showcase the full range of talent that each gallery represents. Think of it as a mini fair. Because we usually hold a takeover event for Comic Con each July, and Comic Con was cancelled for the second year in a row, we wanted to pull our art community together during this difficult time.”

This in-person exclusive event (not available online) will adhere to current state and city regulations at the time of the event. RSVPs are required for opening day: https://sparksgallery.com/rsvp?eid=28242
