These Annual Events have all been personally reviewed. We're not a list maker site. We're a local's resource to the annual events that make living in San Diego so special.

We love showcasing the best historic local events such as the thrilling, nearly one-hundred-year-old, annual La Jolla Cove Rough Water Swim, which marks the end of summer and the charming 63rd Annual Ocean Beach Kite Festival, which includes a parade of kite flyers carrying their colorful kites down this seaside community's main street to the ocean to fly their kites.
