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.

San Diego Design Week is an annual five-day celebration of design featuring presentations, studio tours, workshops, and self-guided tours hosted by groups throughout San Diego's binational design community. Presented and organized by Mingei International Museum, the event is a collaboration between the Museum and a committee of local design leaders who assist in organizing and curating each year's event. Programs feature all disciplines of design — from interior and landscape design, to fashion, graphic design, technology, and more — with the intent to give special access with the aim to spotlight new projects, create opportunities for learning and dialogue exchange, and provide designers the opportunity to share bring bold perspectives, to inspire change and envision a new future.
