San Diego Shines with Holiday Cheer: Markets, Art, and Concerts Abound
Hey listeners, grab your Santa hats and get ready to jingle all the way through San Diego's hottest holiday happenings today and the rest of this week. As your friendly guide to the best spots in America's Finest City, I've got the scoop on festive fun from markets bursting with artisan treasures to magical nights that'll light up your season.
Kick off today, Sunday, right now in the Gaslamp Quarter where the Gaslamp Artisan Market is rocking Fifth Avenue from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., packed with hand-crafted jewelry, art, clothing, and unique finds from local creators. The City of San Diego Official Website lists it as a must-hit outdoor shopping extravaganza. Over at Harney Street Market between San Diego Avenue and Congress Street, browse pottery, paintings, hand-painted glass, and woodworking gems from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.—totally free and open to everyone. Families, head to the Makers Arcade Holiday Fair at Broadway Pier, running until 8 p.m. with over 130 local makers, live music, gourmet food trucks, festive cocktails from Sipwell wine and Sierra Nevada beer, photo booths, kids' crafts, and make-and-take wreath workshops. Admission's just $5, kids under 10 free, and the first 100 guests snag swag bags of handmade goodies—plus catch the Parade of Lights sparkling across the bay this evening for waterfront magic, as San Diego Moms highlights.
Balboa Park stays a holiday wonderland all week. The San Diego Museum of Art and MOPA@SDMA glow with festive decor through December, perfect for art lovers with holiday shopping at their stores supporting year-round exhibits. Drop into free Sunday Concerts at iconic venues for an hour of relaxed tunes, rain or shine, per Balboa Park's event lineup. Art Mart showcases oils, watercolors, photography, jewelry, stained glass, and ceramics—ideal for unique gifts. Families can dive into Holiday Art Making in Artopia this afternoon from 1 to 3:30 p.m. at ThinkPlayCreate, crafting festive masterpieces for free.
Flash forward to Saturday the 20th for the “Christmas With You” Holiday Concert at the San Diego Air & Space Museum, featuring Dave Scott with Ayesha Scott and the Irving Flores Jazz Orchestra from 6 to 9 p.m.—pure seasonal swing. Then Sunday the 21st brings An Irish Christmas Concert at Balboa Theater with Riverdance and Lord of the Dance stars mixing music, stories, dance, and laughs from the Emerald Isle. Ebenezer Scrooge’s BIG San Diego Christmas Show runs through December 31 at The Old Globe, a hilarious local twist on Dickens with all the ghosts and cheer.
