About this event
Balboa Park December Nights is the City of San Diego's largest free holiday festival, drawing more than 350,000 people to the park over two days. Families come for the lights, the music and the park's attractions, and above all for the food. Community performers take over multiple public stages, and recent editions have paired the festivities with a sock drive for PATH San Diego.
Our take: With more than 350,000 people over two days, arrive as early as you can and pick a meeting spot in case your group splits up.
