With dates on August 7 and 22nd, hop aboard your guided boat excursion to see the water surrounding San Diego in a whole new way. Learn an abundance of fun facts about wildlife like dolphins, sea lions and sea birds who call this area home. Chances are you will see some in their natural habitat. Learn all the ways you can help protect the oceans and the environment in a fun and unique way.

Bike the Bay

Date: August 24 at the Bayfront Loop & The Coronado Bridge

Feeling a little active this summer? Why not sign up for the annual Bike the Bay race happening on August 24. You might need to start practicing now to be ready for this 25-mile ride that helps you explore the San Diego Bay area and beyond for a whole new perspective. The route that loops across the Coronado Bridge and past landmarks like the USS Midway, Harbor Island, and more. It’s more of a ride than a race, since it’s done at your leisure and it’s not really for competition. You ride at your own pace and on your own time, taking rests and getting refreshments along the way. It’s a day you’ll end with tired legs, a happy heart, and maybe a crisp sunset beer by the water.

Ramona Rodeo

Dates: August 21-23 in Ramona

Our last top event in August is a rootin’-tootin’ good time at the rodeo. The Ramona Rodeo, which runs through August 21 through 23 offers bull riding, barrel racing, kids rides and all things cowboys. The excitement is tangible as the crowd cheers for bull riders competing to wrangle in a bull or tame a bucking bronco. Between the events, you can enjoy rodeo foods from the vendors, explore craft booths, and listen to live country music. See for yourself why this event draws so many to town each year.
