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.

Join us on the first Monday of every month for Senior Monday! Seniors 65 and better are invited to enjoy discounted admission, a show in the Heikoff Giant Dome Theater and the opportunity to attend an engaging lecture about exciting scientific topics.

This “takeover” concert, curated by renowned composer Thomas Adès, showcases him as composer, teacher, pianist, and conductor, and includes the U.S. premiere of “Forgotten Dances” with international guitar sensation Sean Shibe.

Enjoy a uniquely-San Diego experience at one of our city’s most iconic historic landmarks.
