San Diego Spirits Festival
The San Diego Spirits Festival, a world-class cocktail and cultural event, is shaking things up for its 13th year with a move to the newly renovated Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla.
San Diego’s annual spirits extravaganza will feature unlimited cocktails from more than 60 brands, live music and entertainment, access to MCASD’s galleries, and more.
“This event has grown exponentially through a community of craft cocktail and premium spirits lovers, and this year, we look forward to taking the San Diego Spirits Festival upmarket to La Jolla in this world-class museum,” says Liz Edwards, owner and founder of the San Diego Spirits Festival. “We’re creating an experience-driven event completely unique to the community, where guests can be inspired by exceptional cocktails and spirits, exquisite art, and spectacular views.”
Spirits and art enthusiasts will explore the world of whiskey, bourbon, tequila, rum, gin, vodka, and other fine spirits, plus ready-to-drink beverages including seltzers, canned cocktails, and more from local craft distillers and national brands of the highest quality.
The festival will take place on multiple levels of the museum, with the full exhibition from its galleries on display. Featured entertainment will include Bollywood and Samba dancers, roving belly dancers, a Flamenco soloist, Groove Kitty, a five-member rock and blues band, and more.
