November Holiday Events
San Diego always has a lot of options for kids to get out and have fun, and the holidays are no exception! From East County to the Bay and in every direction from there, your kids will find so much to cheer about.
There are 13 parade options to choose from! (see yesterday's blog post) Theme parks always get really elaborate and put on so many different events: SeaWorld's Christmas Celebration, Jungle Bells at the San Diego Zoo & Holidays at Legoland. You can watch some classic plays and ballets, hit the the ice rinks or find some of Santa's hi-jinks.
Most of these events start THIS weekend and last through next year! The events below are listed for those that start in November.
