We strive to provide the best possible security for our patrons in our open-air venue. For patron safety and artist contract fulfillment, the following items will need to be checked in by usher personnel at the front gate, to be picked up after the concert at the Guest Services Tent: large aisle blocking coolers, non-folding strollers, weapons or firearms of any kind, alcohol of any kind, cameras (still photo or video), and glassware. Note: cellular phones used to reproduce images inside the venue are subject to confiscation by house management until the end of the concert.
Before every Summer Pops concert, we will feature a local music act that would tend to complement that evening's main performance. In the past we have featured guitarists, dancers, singers, brass quintets, folk artists, rock bands, etc. The Pre-Concert Entertainment starts at 6pm and lasts to approximately 7:15pm

The United Port of San Diego has recently designated Embarcadero Marina Park South as a Non-Smoking Area. This means that no lighted pipes, cigars and/or cigarettes are allowed in any part of the Park, and no such items may be disposed of in the Park except for in designated waste disposal containers.
Available for Champagne Section Patrons only, Crown Point Catering will take food and beverage orders from your concert table throughout the evening. Champagne Section patrons can also pre-order gourmet dinners for table delivery. Menus alternate every other weekend.
Various alcoholic spirits (champagne, wine, beer) will be available for patron purchase at several of the Crown Point Catering food booths, as well as at the Cabaret Bar adjacent to the house right tables on the Marina side. Many non-alcoholic choices (soft drinks, lemonade, bottled water) will also be available for patrons of all ages.
Non-Champagne Section Patrons can also pre-order their gourmet meals from Crown Point Catering, but they would need to pick these meals up at the Cabaret Bar located just to the side of the house right tables (i.e. Marina side). Meals should be ready by the 6pm opening time.
Menus for odd weeks and
for even weeks.
Patrons may bring their own food and non-alcoholic drink in to Summer Pops. Such items should be brought in small, personal-type coolers and contain NO GLASSWARE of any kind.

NOTE: Alcoholic beverages or spirits of any kind may NOT be brought onto the premises. Such items are available for purchase once inside.
