San Diego Concerts

California's 2nd largest city and most popular place for outdoor living in the summer months makes it a very popular spot for arts & entertainment offerings. Below is just a small sampling of summer concerts in parks ranging from the grand Spreckels Organ Pavilion in Balboa Park to Point Loma, Mission Beach, North Park and undoubtedly some places we've overlooked or missed in our annual outdoor summer concerts report. If you've never been to San Diego, summer is definitely a great time to go and enjoy these free shows!
