Del Mar Summer Solstice returns with tastes, sips, live music, ocean views and more

The Del Mar Village Association (DMVA) will welcome summer to Southern California with its 15th annual Del Mar Summer Solstice event on Thursday, June 22 from 5 to 8 p.m. Each summer, San Diegans descend on Powerhouse Park to enjoy elevated, robust bites from Del Mar Village restaurants; delicious craft cocktails, wine and beer from local and nationally-recognized brands; and live music, all set next to the Pacific Ocean in Del Mar.

Summer Solstice will feature delectable bites from more than 15 award-winning Del Mar Village restaurants, including Adelaide at L’Auberge Del Mar, Monarch Ocean Pub, Tamarindo and Viewpoint Brewing Co. serving food and brews, plus longtime favorites Beeside Balcony, Jake’s Del Mar, Poseidon, Sbicca Del Mar and Zel’s Del Mar, among others.

The beverage roster at Summer Solstice will be just as hot, featuring a wide variety of not-to-be-missed sips from Casamigos Tequila, Kove Brewing, Une Femme Wines, Boochcraft, Embolden Beer Co., Topo Chico and more.

Beyond the stellar food and beverage lineup, attendees will enjoy much more at Summer Solstice:

With the panorama of the Pacific Ocean as a backdrop, Summer Solstice is the best way to welcome summer to Southern California for a good cause: net proceeds from the event benefit DMVA so it can continue its mission of supporting Del Mar’s beloved small businesses.

This beloved annual event sells out every year. Tickets are $129 for general admission and are available by visiting www.visitdelmarvillage.com/summersolstice.
