Party Under the Stars at Cabrillo National Monument

This one is special. Cabrillo Under the Stars is back for its 70th anniversary, and it’s an after-hours evening at Cabrillo National Monument – one of the most stunning locations in the entire city – with live music, local food and drinks, and views that will genuinely stop you in your tracks.

A Setting Like No Other

Cabrillo National Monument is already incredible during the day. At night, with the city skyline lit up and the ocean stretching out in front of you, it’s on another level.

This event gives you rare after-hours access to the park at its most atmospheric – and everything you spend goes toward the foundation that keeps it that way. Hard to argue with that.

Live Music, Local Bites, Good Company

That Beatles Cover Band is on for the evening, so yes, you will be dancing. Alongside the music, you’ll be sampling tastings from local food and drink favorites and mingling with fellow park lovers and park staff. It’s the kind of crowd that makes for a genuinely great night out.

Two Ways to Celebrate

General Admission is $170 per person. For $500, Premium Seating gets you exclusive access and goodies inside the historic Visitor Center – and if you snag two Premium Seats, you qualify as a Park Luminary for the year, which is a pretty cool thing to be.

See you there!

Seventy years of protecting one of San Diego’s greatest landmarks deserves a real celebration – and this one looks like a lot of fun.

📆 Saturday, August 29 | 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM
