About Waterfront Park - San Diego

Waterfront Park in San Diego is a dynamic public outdoor space along the Embarcadero, ideal for concerts, festivals, farmer's markets, and private events. With flexible, event-driven configurations, the park accommodates up to about 8,100 people standing or 4,000 seated, depending on the setup. No fixed public seating chart means events like CRSSD Festival and Boots In The Park create unique layouts with temporary stages and seating. The space is actively maintained and continues improvements, including the Active Recreation Area opened in 2023–24.

Whether you’re planning a visit for a big festival or a smaller gathering, we've got you covered with practical details on seating options, parking, transport, and nearby lodging and dining to help you secure your plans with ease.
