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.

Sea creatures will be spilling over into Seaport Village just in time for the Bayside Boo. Bring your goblins and enter to win amazing gift baskets and delectable prizes at Seaport Fudge’s 4th annual costume contest.

Enjoy live music in the Lighthouse District, and then head over to the Carrousel District and join the fun at the DJ dance Party. Along the way stop at the Central Lawn to take photos with a giant 26’ octopus. Keep your eye out as you walk the village for mermaids, sea captains and pirates passing out candy. 

Make it a full day of festivities and come early to grab lunch at any of Seaport’s amazing eateries, enjoy an afternoon libation, and then finish the fun with an incredible dessert. It’s a day on the bay that the entire family will enjoy.

Calling all witches, wizards, and muggles! Join us on October 29th from 6pm - 8pm for our most requested trivia theme: Harry Potter Trivia!

Put your Hogwarts knowledge to the test and compete for prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place!

In the spirit of the season, come dressed in your best Halloween costume for our Halloween Costume Contest—the winner will take home a special prize! Your costume doesn’t have to be Harry Potter-themed, so get creative and embrace Spooky Season!

Free and open to all ages!⁠ Arrive early to reserve your tables and grab food & drinks from the market.

It’s time to brush up on your spells and potions – we’ll see you there!
