San Diego’s premier culinary summer event is heading back to the waterfront! On Thursday, August 6, the Tuna Harbor Dockside Market is transforming into the Dockside Night Market. Don’t miss this one-night-only celebration of the city’s food scene and rich coastal identity.
Dockside Night Market – here’s what to expect
Set against the backdrop of the Tuna Harbor Pier, the event brings together 16 of San Diego’s most celebrated chefs and restaurants. Culinary legends like Tara Monsod (Animae), Brad Wise (Trust Restaurant Group), and Jason McLeod (Ironside Oyster) will serve up fresh, local seafood just steps away from the boats that caught it.
Beyond the incredible food, you can soak in the summer vibes with live music by DJ Nikki. Don’t forget to stop by the cash bar featuring craft drinks.
The Dockside Night Market is a strictly 21+ event, running from 6 PM to 10 PM. Tickets are limited and expected to sell out quickly. Come hungry, and don’t forget to raise a glass to the people who catch what’s on your plate!
Eat well, do good
Most importantly – this night is about preserving San Diego’s maritime heritage. 100% of the ticket profits go towards the San Diego Fishermen’s Working Group. These funds directly support local generational fishing families, protect vital industry opportunities, and promote sustainable seafood practices to maintain ocean health.
