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.

Celebrate Campland on the Bay’s 55th anniversary with a day full of fun and family-friendly activities on Saturday, October 12, 2024, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Enjoy games, a giant waterslide, raffles, and live entertainment sponsored by Good Sam, with performances from the 3 Car Garage Band and DJ Heath. Local food trucks will serve up delicious fare, and guests can take part in life-sized games, a howling contest, and a bean bag tournament. The event takes place at Campland’s scenic Central Park on Mission Bay and is open to both resort guests and the public.

This anual event is a safe and family fun.  Kids go trick or treating around the Museum finding all kinds of treats ( not all candy).  All Children 12 and under are free, and parents of costumed children (12 and under) get in for free.  

These popular 90-minute performances are staged aboard the Maritime Museum of San Diego’s 16th-century Spanish galleon San Salvador. Guests will be fully engaged in pirate theatrics at the dock and underway on San Diego Bay. This hilarious interactive show puts visitors right in the middle of the pirate action. Participants will be sworn in as part of the ship crew, trained how to navigate, sword fight, bail water from a sinking ship, escape from the King’s Jail, swab the deck and other pirate skills. Choose from two 90-minute performances at 10:30 a.m. and 12:45 p.m. Tickets include general admission! So arrive early and check - in 15 to 30 minutes before your show. Then after you return to the Museum docks, continue the fun as your explore the rest of the Maritime Museum fleet and all of the fascinating below decks exhibits!
