THINGS TO DO

A different kind of festival

The Wonderfront Festival experience is about so much more than just great live music.  It’s about a celebration of the things we love to do in San Diego, that makes up the culture of our laid back lifestyle.  That’s why, unlike other festivals that lock you in all day and night, you can come and go through the Wonderfront venues as you please. This allows you to explore more of our exciting city as part of your weekend experience.  Here’s some ideas of the fun things to do during your festival weekend.

CULINARY DELIGHTS

TASTES OF
SAN DIEGO

The Festival will host some amazing San Diego favorite culinary experiences.  From local restaurant favorites in our giant food hall, to waterfront dining, to food trucks and street food vendors, we will have it all.  And if you want to bounce out for lunch or dinner at any of the great restaurants along the Promenade, Little Italy or in the Gaslamp Quarter, it is all within steps of the gates.

WATERFRONT EXCURSIONS

 

BOAT
CRUISES

With the festival grounds right on the waterfront of course we have to take the party on the water. Festival goers can jump on our party cat boats to cruise the harbor and view the stages while on the water, and VIP guests can jump on our VIP Limo Boat for an intimate, swanky experience on the water.

GET WET

WATER
ACTIVITIES

May is the kick-off to summer month in San Diego. So bring your beachwear, and be ready to play on the water. Rent SUP paddle boards, kayaks, jet skis, power boats, sailboats and luxury boats from our partners at Seaforth Rentals, located right on the Festival Promenade.

ISLANDS IN THE SUN

EXPLORE 
CORONADO

Ride the oldest wood working Ferry in the United States as it takes you 15 minutes across to the famous Coronado Island, voted one of the Top Ten Most Beautiful Beaches in the United States.  The Ferry departs from the Embarcadero Marina Park South every 30 minutes, and from Broadway Port Pier every hour.  Dine & Shop on Coronado, relax on the beaches, rent surfboards and bodyboards, or rent road & electric bikes to explore the Island.

CULTURE & HISTORY

CITY IN  
MOTION

This festival isn’t about taking you out to the middle of nowhere.  It’s about integrating one of America’s finest downtowns into the fabric of the festival.  So unlike other festivals we encourage you to pop in and out of the festival grounds as you wish.  Explore San Diego.  Shop, Dine, Play and Discover.  Eat and drink in Little Italy and throughout downtown at more than 250 restaurants, bars, clubs and breweries.  Take an extra day to explore Balboa Park, the world famous San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld, Old Town, or any of the many other attractions.  Or just relax on some of the best beaches in the world.  Check out the Visit San Diego page for some of the highlights we recommend during your stay.
