Gabriel Iglesias – Don’t Worry Be Fluffy Tour
Feb 6-7, 2026
San Diego’s own Gabriel Iglesias is trading Dodger Stadium for his hometown stage, giving you a rare chance to see the king of Hawaiian shirts and hilarious sound effects in an intimate setting. The shows are already sold out, so you’ll need to hit the resale market, but it’s a small price to pay to see a comedy legend this close. Remember to budget for the two-drink minimum; it’s the official hydration plan for non-stop laughter.

San Diego Seals vs Saskatchewan Rush – Rock the Box
Feb 7, 2026
Swap your usual Saturday night for something with a little more… aggressive checking. The Seals are hosting a ‘Rock the Box’ party where the main event is high-speed lacrosse and the soundtrack is definitely better than your workout playlist. It’s the perfect excuse to yell indoors at Pechanga Arena without anyone calling security.
San Diego Sockers vs Utica City FC
Feb 7, 2026
Trade the usual Saturday night brewery crawl for a trip to Oceanside to see actual sports legends in action. The 16-time champion Sockers deliver a ridiculously fast-paced, high-scoring game that’s more exciting than finding parking in North Park. Plus, with affordable tickets, you’ll still have cash left over for a post-game taco.
San Diego Mojo vs. Columbus Fury
Feb 6, 2026
Tired of explaining the physics of a proper California burrito to tourists? Unwind by watching our San Diego Mojo spike volleyballs with extreme prejudice against the Columbus Fury. This is way more intense and organized than that one beach volleyball game you almost joined last summer.
Cardiff Kook Run
Feb 8, 2025
Finally, a race where your questionable costume choices are not just accepted but celebrated. This scenic jog down the 101 is really just a prelude to a legendary costume contest and a well-deserved beer garden finish. It’s peak North County culture, and your only regret will be not dressing weirder.

Feb 7-8, 2026
Giddy up for the Year of the Horse where you’d least expect it, a theme park mostly dedicated to fish. SeaWorld trades its usual seal antics for spectacular lion dances and taiko drummers for their annual Lunar New Year bash. You can even grab a lucky red envelope, which will hopefully contain more than just a coupon for Dippin’ Dots.
