The Holidays, San Diego Style
LOCAL HOLIDAY TRADITIONS HOW SAN DIEGO SPREADS CHEER
GASLAMP HOLIDAY PET PARADE Where: Gaslamp Hilton Park When: Dec. 15, beginning at 12 p.m.
Despite the appearance of some flurries a decade ago, the last time San Diego had measurable snowfall was all the way back in 1967. Needless to say, then, that the holidays down here don’t much resemble the stuff we see on TV and in the movies, at least in terms of the weather. The sun doesn’t melt the holiday spirit as readily as it does snow, though. San Diegans spread cheer in their own unique way, including with these local holiday staples.
a spot at the new rinkside lounge, Frostbite, cheekily dubbed “a place to chill.” Just because we don’t have snow doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the ice. You can find more info and tickets at HotelDel.com/Events/Skating.
San Diego is a hotbed for well-groomed and well-loved pets. On any given day walking through the Gaslamp Quarter, you’ll probably run across a few pooches who have better self-care routines than most humans. But the Gaslamp Holiday Pet Parade takes things to an entirely different level. Doggos dressed as Santa? Check. Feline elves? You bet. Cuteness overload? No doubt about it. GasLamp.org/Events/Pet-Parade has all the details.
BALBOA PARK DECEMBER NIGHTS Where: Balboa Park When: Dec. 6–7
By no means a low-key event — the city expects around 400,000 guests over the course of the festival — Balboa Park December Nights is a San Diego institution. Balboa Park has always been a hub for cultural activity in the city, so it’s a fitting setting for such a gathering. You’ll find it all at December Nights, from shopping and food to light displays and live entertainment. As a bonus, all Balboa Park museums are free during December Nights. Head to SanDiego.gov/ December-Nights for all the details.
SKATING BY THE SEA Where: Hotel del Coronado When: Nov. 22, 2019 to Jan. 5, 2020
No offense to Rockefeller Center, but we believe the best holiday skating rink anywhere in the country can be found at the historic Hotel del Coronado. Where else, after all, can you combine beachside views and ice skating, palm trees and holiday tunes? This year, you can also reserve
