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.

Located in one of Southern California’s most iconic beach communities and travel destinations, the Del Mar Wine + Food Festival boasts six days of jam-packed unique culinary experiences featuring an all-star lineup of culinary talent, curated wine experiences from top-notch producers, walkaround tasting adventures, immersive lifestyle events, and more!

This year Country Christmas Tree Lighting will be at the new “Town Square” location on the corner of Main Street and Washington.

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.
