It’s a brand new year, so let’s think of all the things we can do to make it a fun adventure. Step into the world of Van Gogh in San Diego, inspire your mini-mogul to pitch an idea at the Kidpreneur Expo and catch as many live shows as you can. We’re looking forward to enjoying all the fun San Diego has in store for us in 2022.

Beyond Van Gogh Comes to San Diego

It's finally here! You may have seen photos from Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience exhibit popping up on friends' social media over the last year as it debuted in other cities like San Francisco, Los Angles, and New York in 2021, and on January 14th it kicks off in San Diego. The visually-striking achievement invites audiences to step inside post-Impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh’s most incredible works of art. This exhibit is only around until the beginning of March, so get your tickets reserved now. Event details.

Disney On Ice: Dream Big

The Magic of Disney (on ice!) is coming to San Diego. Sail away with favorite Disney friends such as Mickey, Minnie, Miguel, Moana, Elsa, Belle, Genie, and more highlighting all the magic and adventure of Disney’s tales through world-class figure skating. Event details.

Kidpreneur Expo

Calling all kidpreneurs! Mark your calendar for January 29th and start thinking of your most creative idea for a product or service. Kids in elementary (starting at age 5) through high school will have the opportunity to win cash prizes for the best pitch, best presentation, and more. Real-life investors will be on-site and kidpreneurs will have the opportunity to seek additional funding for investment.
