Celebrated as San Diego’s largest multi-day major music and entertainment festival, KAABOO Del Mar overlooks the Pacific Ocean and enjoys pristine weather, ocean breezes, and numerous easy to access lodging options.

All festival guests have access to the Humor Me comedy club, Southern California’s largest on-site contemporary art fair in the indoor Artwork area plus daily viewings of live-action outdoor murals and installations, Palate gourmet food and craft beverage tastings, the onsite Vegas-style Club Elevate nightclub (18+), and the ability to purchase a cabana or day pass to Bask Day Club, a prime poolside area with views of the Grandview stage.

The KAABOO KINDNESS program continues to support charities in the San Diego region and across the globe.
