SAN DIEGO — On Friday night, the San Diego Symphony kicked off the opening weekend celebration. Organizers said there is no bad seat at the Rady Shell at Jacobs Park – you’re either by the water or overlooking the city.
“San Diego is ready to get together,” said Craig Hall, Vice President of marketing and communication for San Diego Symphony.
As the venue finally opens after COVID-19 stopped those plans last year.
A 17-year and 85 million dollar investment, organizers say it’s a “gift to San Diego.”
