The San Diego Symphony is working with the Port of San Diego for the development of a permanent, highly innovative outdoor space called Bayside Performance Park. This significant park improvement project will allow the Symphony to enhance our musical presentations and the visitor experience with an architecturally remarkable and acoustically superior stage, allow the park to become an important public resource as a viable site for a wider range of performances and activate it year-round as a public gathering space and a landmark waterfront attraction. With Port and Coastal Commission approval, the Symphony will present the Bayside Performance Park as a gift to the region.

Our vision is to create a permanent outdoor venue with superb acoustics that is aesthetically stunning — a postcard for San Diego — that not only provides vibrant programming for a wide range of audiences, but also creates a world-class park that can be enjoyed by everyone in our community. As a current subscriber to Bayside Summer Nights, or as a donor to the San Diego Symphony, you will receive priority and the first opportunity before the general public to secure seats in the new venue. Be sure to subscribe this season! We know you’ll want to be there for the very first concert in our extraordinary new summer home.
