Gaslamp Quarter Holiday Season

Shop ‘Til You Sleigh

Ready to become the gift-giving champion of 2024? Small Business Saturday on November 30 is your time to shine! The Quarter is turning into a wonderland of local treasures that’ll make everyone on your nice list do a happy dance.

Can’t make it Saturday? They’ve got you covered! The Gaslamp Artisan Market (GLAM) brings the party every weekend from 10 AM to 4 PM on 5th Avenue’s 500 block.

The Most Pawsome Party Ever

The Gaslamp Pet Parade and Pups in the Pub is back and it’s bringing enough cuteness to break the internet!

From 10 AM to 4 PM, watch fabulous furbabies (and feathered friends and scaly sweeties!) work the runway at Martin Luther King Jr. Park. Then keep the party going with holiday spirits at the Hilton San Diego Gaslamp Quarter. Just $25 to join the parade parade-palooza, or come watch for free!

Feast Mode: Activated

Ditch the kitchen drama this holiday season! Our culinary rockstars are serving up Thanksgiving, Christmas, and everything in between with more flavor than you can handle.
