Taking place from 12-4pm., the adults-only afternoon blends classic carnival charm with elevated experiences, including interactive games, prizes, and a luxury live auction. Guests can expect a lively outdoor setting paired with craft beer, light bites, and the kind of festive atmosphere that feels both playful and purposeful.
Beyond the fun, Winter Wins supports the Junior League of San Diego’s mission to advance women’s leadership and drive meaningful community impact. Proceeds from the event directly benefit the organization’s work addressing food insecurity across San Diego County, an issue that continues to affect families and communities throughout the region.
The event will begin with carnival games and activities at noon, giving attendees plenty of time to mingle, play, and explore before the live auction kicks off at 3pm. Guests will have the opportunity to purchase additional carnival activity tickets and raffle tickets during the event, adding to the excitement and chances to win.
Winter Wins is open to guests 21 and over. The event will be held outdoors, weather permitting, with plans to move inside the restaurant in the event of rain. Free parking is available throughout Liberty Station, and attendees are encouraged to dress accordingly for the winter weather.
General admission tickets are available online at the price of $50, and VIP options are available for guests looking for a more premium experience. For those looking to enjoy a unique San Diego afternoon that combines community, philanthropy, and a little grown-up carnival magic, Winter Wins promises an experience that delivers on all fronts.
Winter Wins: Carnival & Live Auction takes place on Saturday, February 7, 2026, from noon to 4pm at Stone Brewing Liberty Station, located at 2816 Historic Decatur Road in San Diego's Point Loma. For more information, visit jlsd.org/winter-event.
