For 29 years Rady Children's Hospital-SD Ice Rink has been providing seasonal outdoor family fun for San Diego. It started with a vision to bring an outdoor ice rink to San Diego and raise money for kids with cancer. In partnership with Rady Children's Health San Diego Auxiliary, ARTS DISTRICT Liberty Station and San Diego Ice Arena we are able to provide this event each year. We had over 30,000 skaters in 2024 and have raised over 2 million dollars for the Thriving After Cancer Program at Rady Children's Hospital San Diego Rady Children's Ice Rink on Facebook / Instagram

This weekend in the arts: ghosts, spookiness and hauntings in theater, visual art, literature, music and more — plus an experimental art fair, canyon-inspired sound sculpture, drag and more.

Join us for an evening with renowned artist Nick Cave, whose multidisciplinary practice spans sculpture, installation, performance, and video. Best known for his celebrated Soundsuits, elaborate full-body sculptures that merge art, fashion, and social commentary, Cave creates work that speaks to issues of identity, race, and healing. His work "Rescue," from the Museum’s permanent collection, is currently on view in the Art of the Americas galleries, offering audiences a chance to experience his practice firsthand. The program will begin with a talk by the artist reflecting on his body of work, followed by a conversation-style interview and an audience Q&A. This special event offers an opportunity to hear directly from Cave about the ideas, processes, and social concerns that shape his practice. San Diego Museum of Art on Facebook / Instagram
