San Diego Surf Festival
October 14 - October 18
The San Diego Surf Festival celebrates surf culture through various activities including the screening of international surf films, art shows, and surfing events.
The festival has grown significantly since its inception in 2012, evolving from a grassroots event to one of the most respected and longest-running surf festivals in the world. It focuses on highlighting the creative talents within the surfing community, including filmmakers, surfers, shapers, and artists, rather than the red-carpet hype. The festival’s success is attributed to the deep bonds and community spirit within the surfing world in San Diego.
