If you’re looking to party it up this New Years Eye then check out the top parties in San Diego this year. Most of these entry fees include alcohol so remember that when checking out the prices.

New Years Eve in San Diego for the Kids

If you want more kid friendly options consider ringing in 2022 with fireworks on the San Diego bay. There are a number of places to view them including seaport village, em academy, Coronado ferry landing, and Harbor Island.

I’ve also heard that Mira Mesa High School puts them on but am not 100% certain. Finally, Legoland is a great place to celebrate this year as they do an early NYE countdown!
