The Día de los Muertos celebration at the Sherman Heights Community Center is a weeks-long community festivity that preserves the Day of the Dead tradition, itself a millennial practice. This celebration began in 1994, when Sr. Domingo Sandoval, a local resident approached the Center requesting a space to create an altar in honor of his loved ones during Día de los Muertos. Over the years the festivity has grown to include onsite community altars, front-yard altars throughout the neighborhood, craft workshops, online tutorials and videos, an activity guide, student tours and food tastings, a procession and fundraising event. The tradition is a joyous occasion when the memory of our ancestors and the continuity of life is celebrated. Festivities run from mid Oct- Nov. 2nd and are open to the public.

Each December, the San Diego Bay Parade of Lights fills the harbor with a brilliant procession of festively decorated boats. This year’s parade, celebrating the theme “An Out of This World Christmas,” continues a cherished San Diego tradition that delights families, visitors, and boating enthusiasts alike. For the ultimate Parade of Lights experience, guests can enjoy a holiday buffet dinner aboard the 1898 steam ferry Berkeley — home to the parade’s official judging platform. From this historic setting along the Star of India Wharf, diners are treated to front-row views of the illuminated flotilla as it glides past the museum’s waterfront. The festive atmosphere, delicious fare, and unbeatable vantage point make this one of San Diego’s most memorable holiday evenings. In addition to the dinner package, the Maritime Museum also offers viewing-only tickets aboard the world-famous tall ship Star of India, opening at 5:30 p.m. Guests can watch the parade from her historic decks while enjoying drinks from a cash bar. Whether you choose dinner or deckside viewing, the Maritime Museum provides a truly unique and magical way to celebrate the holiday season on San Diego Bay.
