Beach towns like Pacific Beach, La Jolla, and the downtown Gaslamp Quarter should come alive with tourists seeking beach fun and nightlife. The occasional coastal fog means the mornings can be cloudy, but the sun usually burns away the clouds by early afternoon. San Diego gets into the summer spirit with exciting outdoor offerings and events.

To learn more about the events click on the imagery to go directly to the event website.

1. San Diego Pride

Formed in 1974 as a sponsored program of The Center for Social Services, we produced the first Lesbian and Gay Parade in San Diego to celebrate the 1969 Stonewall Rebellion on New York’s Christopher Street. San Diego Pride incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 1994, and today it continues to bring together the skills, talents, and visions of our diverse community through numerous programs.

San Diego Pride raises funds primarily through festival ticket and beverage sales, and through sponsorships, and exhibitor fees. These funds support San Diego Pride’s community philanthropy which has distributed more than $2.5 million in advancement of its mission to foster pride, equality, and respect for all lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities locally, nationally, and globally.

2.  69th annual OMBAC
World Championship
Over-The-Line-Tournament

Since our founding in 1954 the Old Mission Beach Athletic Club has supported many organizations and individuals through charitable donations of money and/or labor. Old Mission Beach Athletic Club’s Articles of Incorporation define our organization’s founding goals of promoting and sponsoring youth sports as well as educational, philanthropic and civic activities.

Proceeds from OMBAC’s activities and events have supported a wide range of local, national and international beneficiaries. For over sixty years OMBAC has been content to quietly support these causes. Today we feel it is important for the public at large to know that OMBAC is more than just those guys at Over The Line.
