If you are traveling to the Villas with your families, consider the San Diego County Fair. The Fair offers the opportunity to indulge in wild fair foods, charming arts and craft exhibits, and a Faris wheel ride with an ocean view. The Fair also has an amazing concert series, this year featuring Third Eye Blind, Ziggy Marly, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, among others.
What is more San Diego than a surf contest? This June, North County will host the Switchfoot Bro Am Surf Contest. The event includes interactive experiences, live music (including Switchfoot & Friends), Vendor Villages, and very special moments with our beneficiary kids that the charity supports. Beach fun for a good cause.
The San Diego Zoo is World famous and in the summer the zoo is open at night. This is a wonderful opportunity to encounter the nocturnal animals at their most active. Nighttime Zoo also offers live entertainment and children’s activities. After… or before a busy day or night at the Zoo, explore a taste of Mexico without crossing the border. San Diego’s Old Town is home to the vibrant Bizarre Del Mundo shopping and Casa Guadalajara, voted Old Town’s Best Mexican Restaurant. The Villas Office and the Hotel Concierge Team has access to preferred reservation with no wait times and complimentary appetizers.
You do not have to leave property to enjoy the San Diego fun. The Grand Social is open for the summer season and has an outstanding live music lineup. As always, you and your families can enjoy woodfired delights, custom crafted cocktail, and s’mores. Please reach out to the Villas Office or Hotel Concierge Team and we will be happy to book your private firepit or cabana.
We can not wait to welcome you back for summer sunshine in San Diego!
