Whether you’re a longtime racing fan or just looking for a fun fall day out, the season has plenty of reasons to make Del Mar part of your calendar. Here’s what to know.

Start the Season at Opening Day

The season begins with Bing Crosby Season Opening Day, with world-class racing, coastal views, and that classic Del Mar atmosphere.

Diamond Club members receive free general admission at the gate on opening day, so it’s a great reason to join in. It’s the perfect way to kick off the fall meet and soak in the energy of the first day of racing. Bring your friends and make a day of it.
