In addition to free concerts, Del Mar brings together the best of San Diego’s buzzing culinary and craft beer scenes with a variety of delicious events. Bringing craft beer enthusiasts joy will be delighted such as Burgers and Brews, the annual Craft Beer Fest and, to spice things up, a Wing Fest and Michelada Fest.

Wednesdays are getting a whole lot tastier this summer with Free & Easy Wednesdays Featuring Tacos & Tallboys. Race fans still get the free and easy items they know and love - free admission, free seat, and free program – but for the first time it will be paired with famous Brigantine fish tacos and tallboys. All day Wednesdays in Plaza de Mexico throughout the season (excluding Opening Day), guests can enjoy $3 classic Brigantine fish tacos and half-priced tallboys of Corona, Modelo, Pacifico and Coors Light.
Every weekend is fun for the family, but some can’t miss dates for special family fun at Del Mar include Sunday, July 22 for Del Mar’s Supersized Family Fun Day, providing an abundance of engaging activities for little ones.

Halfway through the season, Del Mar will present its most highly anticipated race of the summer, the $1-million TVG Pacific Classic, on Saturday, August 18. The mile and a quarter Grade I testing is one of the West's foremost prizes and eligible to attract several of the best Thoroughbreds in the country.
