Upcoming Social
Events Due to conflicting interests, the Potluck and game night on November 18th was cancelled. However, there will be two events in December, Balboa Park December Nights on December 2nd and our Annual Holiday Party later in the month. The evites will be sent out toward the end of the month. If you have questions or comments, please contact our Social Chair Mark. Balboa Park December Nights December 02 (Saturday) Time TBA Balboa Park The beloved San Diego event features sparkling lights, color and music with traditional celebrations and holiday-themed entertainment areas. In the spirit of the holidays, participating Balboa Park museums open their doors free of charge from 5:00 to 9:00 pm, the main-stage Spreckels Organ Pavilion highlights choral presentations from a variety of groups and the Del Cerro Baptist Church Christmas Story Tree is featured each night. Music, theatrical, and dance presentations will take place in many of the museums and cultural organizations. December Nights is also a true multicultural food fest, with mouthwatering ethnic culinary specialties from 27 countries at hand for you to sample. It also features culinary adventures from some of San Diego's finest restaurants at the Plaza de Panama Holiday Taste of San Diego. The Barona Band of Mission Indians will contribute a unique cultural element to the events with My Ancestors’ Village, the re-creation of a traditional Native American village within the heart of Balboa Park, a tribute to the local tribes and the important role they have played in San Diego's history. The Cascades Holiday Marketplace brings crafts, foods and entertainment from around the world and the Palisades Midway harkens back to the 1915-16 Panama-California Exposition and the 1935-36 California-Pacific International Exposition – the celebrations to which Balboa Park owes its rich history – with carnival rides, and fun for children. Magnificent poinsettia plants turn Balboa Park’s historic wood lath Botanical Building into a glowing tribute to the holidays.
