Who is ready for the annual Petco Park Holiday Market to return for the 2023 Christmas season?

Petco Park Holiday Market

The Holiday Market in Gallagher Square is a fun December event for delighting kids as well as the whole family. It’s a festive, romantic date night for couples. Its a spectacular way to show off the San Diego Padres stadium while entertaining out-of-town guests. For the event, Petco Park turns into a winter wonderland, featuring local and European artisan shops, magical lighting displays, seasonal food and beverages, Santa, the Grinch and other holiday characters!

After the success of the inaugural Holiday Market & Trail in 2020, organizers put together a bigger event the following year. Each turn brings even more food, beverage and vendors.
