The videotape is cursed, the phone rings, and this time the dread comes with a live orchestra. Watch The Ring on the big screen while the San Diego Symphony plays Hans Zimmer's skin-crawling score.

The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park · Gaslamp Quarter
Kevin's Plaza Hotel hijinks hit even harder with a live orchestra. The San Diego Symphony performs John Williams' whimsical score live to film at the Rady Shell, where holiday chaos meets waterfront views.
December 20 at 7pm
Balboa Theatre · Gaslamp Quarter
Watch the full film on a giant screen while a live orchestra plays every note of the soundtrack, including Mariah Carey's holiday anthem. It's your favorite Christmas rom-com, but bigger, louder, and way more festive.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
