About this listen

 San Diego, with its vibrant culture, stunning natural beauty, and diverse array of activities, is a paradise for tourists and locals alike. If you are visiting San Diego in early May 2025, there are several exciting events and activities you won't want to miss.

For music enthusiasts, the Wonderfront Music & Arts Festival is a highlight, returning in May to the Embarcadero. Although it takes place from May 16 to May 18, it's a great reason to plan your trip around these dates to enjoy a weekend of music and art where the city meets the sea.

If you're in San Diego on May 3, the Gaslamp Cinco de Mayo Festival is a must-attend event, filled with lively music, delicious food, and festive atmosphere. Later in the month, on May 8, you can enjoy "An Evening with David Sedaris," a unique opportunity to experience the humor and wit of this renowned author.

For outdoor adventures, Sunset Cliffs Natural Park is a gem that offers stunning coastal views, dramatic bluffs, arches, and sea caves. It's the perfect spot for a leisurely walk or to catch a breathtaking sunset. The park's panoramic ocean views and refreshing sea breeze make it an ideal place to unwind or enjoy a romantic evening.

Balboa Park is another must-visit destination, especially during the spring. From May 1 to May 18, the park hosts various spring events, including the Annual Balboa Park Pow Wow, which showcases Native American music, dance, and art. The park also offers 'Nat at Night' for evening access to exhibitions and 'Sharp Minds' lectures for those interested in scientific discussions.

Sports enthusiasts can look forward to the 9th Annual Ocean Beach Pier Surf/Skate Classic, which combines surfing and skateboarding competitions in a fun and lively atmosphere.

For art and culture, the San Diego Symphony's performances at the Rady Shell are highly recommended. This stunning outdoor amphitheater offers a unique setting to enjoy classical music with a beautiful backdrop.

Food lovers will enjoy the FoodieLand Food Festival, which brings together a variety of cuisines and culinary delights. La Jolla Cove Adventures offer opportunities for snorkeling, kayaking, and other water activities, making it a great spot for those who love the ocean.

Family-friendly attractions include the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, where the new Elephant Valley is set to open later in 2025, allowing visitors to get up close to elephants in a natural savanna setting. SeaWorld San Diego is also a must-visit with its new Jellyfish Experience and the re-envisioned Journey to Atlantis ride. LEGOLAND California is another great option, with its World Parade returning this summer and the newly opened Dino Valley, along with the detailed small-scale versions of San Diego icons in Miniland USA.

Whether you're interested in music, sports, art, outdoor adventures, cultural experiences, or food, San Diego has something for everyone, making it a vibrant and memorable destination for any traveler.
