Summer is almost over; with September on the horizon, here are the best things to do in San Diego in August – while you still can.

The Liberty Station ArtWalk (Aug 13 & 14)

This Saturday and Sunday, August 13th and 14th, is the premier San Diego arts festival. It brings together a highly diverse range of artists, activities for kids, artisan food vendors and more. Get full details here.

Visit the San Diego Zoo at Night (Through Sept 5)

Through September 5th, plan a San Diego Zoo trip at night. Being the Centennial Celebration of the SD Zoo, there’s a few more weeks of the special late night events such as music, shows and more. Learn about all shenanigans here.

Go Surfing (All day. Every day.)

Long summer hours provide more opportunities to surf; don’t wait until fall when it gets dark early. 

(And hey, if you love body surfing or are concerned about children’s water safety, check out this new product: Wave Wrecker – a surfboard and wetsuit hybrid. It’s a strategically designed suit with built in buoyancy to allow for extreme body surfing and safer surfing!)

Attend Balboa Park After Dark (Through Sept 2)

Love museums? Relish late night hours? In summer, San Diego’s Balboa Park stays lit up after 5 pm. Beyond awesome.

Bike the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge (Aug 28)

This San Diego bike event provides a rare opportunity – the chance to ride the breathtaking bridge that goes from San Diego to Coronado Island. How? Bike the Bay.
