Free Concerts Every Monday Night At The Spreckels Organ In Balboa Park

Did you know that the historic Spreckels Organ in Balboa Park is the largest outdoor pipe organ in the world? Well now you do!

And you now also know that every Monday night from now until September 3rd, you can take in a free concert at the Spreckels Organ Pavillion as the 31st Annual International Summer Organ Festival has officially started!

Ok..ok…you may not be rocking out to your favorite organ tunes every day…we get it. But this is a cool San Diego experience that’s worth checking out before (and after) getting a drink at Panama 66 and strolling through the park!

The Spreckels Organ Society lights up San Diego summer nights with the International Summer Organ Festival ­– an inspiring lineup of free outdoor concerts at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion in Balboa Park, each designed to demonstrate the fresh sound of the historic 1914 Spreckels Organ.

The 2018 Festival features virtuoso performances by world-class organists, music for Independence Day, acclaimed string and organ duos, Rising Stars Night with 15 year-old twin organists, the always popular Spreckels Silent Movie Night, and even Rocking Balboa: A Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin Tribute!

Check out the full schedule here.

All Festival concerts start at 7:30 p.m., are free to the public, and are open to all ages. Friendly music-loving pets on leash are welcome.

Light snacks, beverages, and unique gifts are available on the pavilion grounds, and proceeds from donations benefit the nonprofit Spreckels Organ Society, which works to preserve, program and promote the Spreckels Organ as a world treasure for all people.

Take a summer stroll in the park and enjoy this unique San Diego experience!

See you there!
