We attended the event as guests of Hilton San Diego Bayfront. From November 21, 2018 through January 5, 2019, Hilton San Diego Bayfront will be presenting Holiday by the Bay.Celebrate the season at San Diego’s exclusive waterfront holiday adventure park – HOLIDAY BY THE BAY. Holiday by the Bay features Reindeer Run, an exhilarating two-story 100-foot ice tubing slide; the Iceberg Bumpers ride; plus Shine, an hourly interactive dynamic light show.

Hotel Guests and locals can get in the holiday spirit with stocking trimming at Santa’s Workshop, cookie decorating at Claus Kitchen, and festive craft cocktail flights at Yule Lodge.
