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.

Janáček’s “Kreutzer Sonata” Quartet, inspired by Tolstoy’s tale of jealousy and marital discord set against the backdrop of Beethoven’s Kreutzer Sonata, pairs with Composer-in-Residence Thomas Adès. Adès performs his evocative The Tempest suite alongside these deeply passionate works.

Let's do the Time Warp again on October 11! Join us for this roaring, raucous, and uniquely Rocky evening at the historic Balboa Theatre. Patricia Quinn, who plays mischievous maid Magenta in the film, will be there live in person to conduct the festivities and celebrate this cult classic. Along with reenactment from a live “shadow cast” (if you know you know), the audience will be part of the show thanks to props, dances, and a pre-show costume contest! Patricia will also host a pre-show VIP Meet & Greet, which you can purchase in addition to your ticket.
