If you and your date want to dress up for something a little different, make plans to take your seat among many like-minded music fans and enjoy an evening at the San Diego Symphony. There are several performances on the schedule throughout the year, so there's always something that you can plan ahead to see. Shows that feature current Tony winners, the music of Burt Bacharach and several pops concerts are just a few highlights of what you'll find on the itinerary, so make sure you get your tickets early to not miss a note of any of these stellar presentations.

If you love beer, then the San Diego Festival of Beer is an event you will find yourself attending year after year. Come and sample the impressive selection of over 120 different microbrews, and it's all for an excellent cause.
