Your day, your vibe, your ocean. San Diego’s social scene is getting its first floating day club — a lifestyle-driven experience that blends the energy of a beach club, the curated vibe of a waterfront rooftop, and the aesthetic of a music festival, all on the water. For Drop 001, launching Saturday, October 18, we’re teaming up with SoundCheck OC for a music-forward debut that sets the tone for the series ahead. Every detail is curated for the moments that matter most: music, views, bars and spaces made for connection, movement, and pure enjoyment before the sun goes down. Plan to arrive between 3:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. to score the best parking and be in place at the gate by 4 p.m. When our yacht is dockside and ready for boarding at 4:30 p.m., our DJ will already be setting the soundtrack — bass lines pulsing through the decks, tropical rhythms spilling out over the pier, and the first beats of the afternoon drawing you in. At 5 p.m., we’ll cruise off for 90 minutes of sunlit, open-air music with four DJs. From deep house to nu disco grooves and coastal tropical blends, the yacht becomes a moving coastal waterfront-themed beach club — and anyone who knows, knows the best experiences happen before the sun goes down.

Back by popular demand - just in time to celebrate its 100th anniversary! As the perfect event to kick off spooky season, the evening’s feature is "The Phantom of the Opera" from 1925, the first film adaptation of Gaston Leroux's 1910 horror novel. Lon Chaney’s portrayal of the titular character, a deformed virtuoso haunting the Paris Opera House, has been lauded as one of the greatest performances in horror cinema to date. The screening of "The Phantom of the Opera" will be accompanied by live organ music, creating an immersive experience that harks back to the silent film era. In 2004, renowned film critic Roger Ebert gave the film 4 out of 4 stars, saying "The Phantom is invested by the intense and inventive Lon Chaney with a horror and poignancy that is almost entirely created with body language." On the popular review forum Rotten Tomatoes, the site reads, "Decades later, it still retains its ability to scare – and Lon Chaney's performance remains one of the benchmarks of the horror genre." The film was added to the United States National Film Registry in 1998. September 29 is Silent Movie Day, when film lovers, history buffs, and organ players celebrate the incredible legacy of this art form. We're thrilled to hold an event commemorating the day! After the show All audience members are invited to stay for a post-show conversation with featured organist Russ Peck and a special guest film expert. This is just one screening in our Silent Movie Mondays series at the Balboa Theatre. Learn more and see the full lineup! San Diego Theatres on Facebook / Instagram
