Let’s Go Padres!
Root for the San Diego Padres this spring on April 9 when they play the Los Angeles Dodgers at the state-of-the-art downtown Petco Ballpark for the beginning of the six-month season of Major League Baseball. Make it a night and start or end the evening at one of the numerous bars and restaurants surrounding the park in downtown’s famous Gaslamp Quarter and East Village.
Warmer Waters
As the mercury rises, it’s time to get out to San Diego’s 70 miles of beach and enjoy any number of water activities.
