Thanksgiving in San Diego

Wave Icon

The spooky excitement of Halloween has passed, and now we move onto giving thanks and spending quality time with loved ones. This year, consider getting away from your city’s cold November weather and enjoy a sunny Thanksgiving at the beach! Bring the whole family and book your stay at Ocean Park Inn where you are located just steps away from the sand. As Pacific Beach’s favorite family-oriented boutique beachfront hotel, the Ocean Park Inn will provide your family the perfect setting for warm holiday fun! Enjoy a day in the ocean or take a stroll down the boardwalk where you all will be able to enjoy each other’s company, and give thanks for the time away from the hustle-and-bustle of the holiday season.

But what about the big feast? We suggest any of the local restaurants in Pacific Beach, or you can enjoy an amazing and scenic Thanksgiving Dinner on the Hornblower! Celebrate this heart-warming holiday with your loved ones in a classically San Diegan fashion: onboard a Hornblower yacht which will sail around San Diego Bay while you enjoy a traditional holiday buffet complete with all the trimmings! This Thanksgiving you will be able to enjoy a two and a half hour comfortable cruise, champagne upon boarding, a traditional Thanksgiving dinner and a beautiful view complete with entertainment. Book your tickets with Hornblower Thanksgiving Cruises and enjoy a stress-free holiday on the water.

There’s more to Thanksgiving than the food, right? Consider giving back this holiday season by taking part in the Thanksgiving Del Mar Family Fun Run. Kick off your holiday with a one-mile run around the track at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. The run will begin at the actual starting gate, loop a one-mile lap all the way around the track, and finish in the Winners’ Circle where you will get your picture taken. You’ll even get the chance to run or walk alongside some of horse-racing’s most well-known jockeys! Participants in the Fun Run will receive admission to the racetrack, parking, and a Fun Run t-shirt. All proceeds will benefit the Helen Woodward Animal Center.

Arrive at the track early for extra family fun! Activities that will precede the Fun Run include games and prizes for kids, face painting, Thanksgiving Day hats with the Rad Hatter, entertainers, holiday crafts and much more. Be sure to sign up for the Del Mar Family Fun Run and enjoy Thanksgiving by giving back.

Along with these great Thanksgiving celebrations, many restaurants around San Diego are offering a wonderful Thanksgiving Dinner where you won’t have to do the cooking or the cleaning.
