GETTING THERE
Getting to the San Diego Symphony Summer Pops is easy, and there are so many ways to do it!

Driving: If you must drive to the concert site, then follow these directions:

From North
– take I-5 south, exit Front Street, drive south to Harbor Drive, turn left, proceed to 8th Ave (just past Convention Center), turn right, parking on your left.

On Padre Game nights, avoid Downtown traffic by proceeding farther down I-5 to the Cesar Chavez Parkway exit. Take a right on Cesar Chavez, proceeding SW to Harbor Drive. Turn right, proceed to 8th Ave. (just before Convention Center), turn left, parking on your left. Patrons coming down Hwy 163 should take the I-5 south exit before downtown, then once on the 5, take the Chavez exit as noted above.


From South
– take I-5 north, take the Cesar Chavez Parkway exit, turn left, drive SW to Harbor Drive, turn right, proceed to 8th Ave. (just before Convention Center), turn left, parking on your left.

From East
– take King/Hwy.94 west toward downtown. Before coming into downtown, exit to Hwy. 15 south, and then shortly exit to I-5 north. Take the Cesar Chavez Parkway exit, turn left, drive SW to Harbor Drive, turn right, proceed to 8th Ave. (just before Convention Center), turn left, parking on your left.

(Please note: Except for buses, left turns will be disallowed onto Harbor Drive after the concert, please plan accordingly)

Parking Structure Shuttle: Before and after every concert, there will be a fleet of shuttle buses running patrons to and from the 8th Avenue Parking Structure at Harbor & 8th. Concert site dropoff and pickup for these buses is at the same point: the NW edge of the traffic circle adjacent to the Summer Pops patron entrance. An intermission bus will run as needed.

San Diego Trolley: Take the Orange Line to the Convention Center stop (The Special Event Line also stops here on Game and Special Event Days). Cross Harbor Drive and look for the footpath found between the Convention Center and the Marriot Hotel. As you walk SW down the walkway and emerge on the other side, the Summer Pops site is towards your left just down the Embarcadero footpath.

By Foot: The Summer Pops can be accessed by the Embarcadero footpath that, moving SE by the water, runs by the Manchester Hyatt, Seaport Village, the Marriot Marina, and the Convention Center. The Summer Pops site is just behind the Convention Center by the Bay, on the Marina Park South peninsula.

By Water: Water taxis from Coronado (Hotel Del Coronado, Ferry Landing Marketplace), Harbor Island, Shelter Island, the Broadway Pier, and other locations can moor at the landing of Joe’s Crabshack on the Marina Park South peninsula. Call the water taxi at 619.235.8294 for more details.

Note: The Lane Field double decker shuttle has been discontinued.
