Happy Hour Concert Nov. 16,2008
Probably the Best FREE event in SanDiego every sunday at 2pm!
Presented to the citizens of San Diego in 1914 by brothers John D. and Adolph Spreckels, the ornate, curved pavilion houses a magnificent organ with 4,518 individual pipes. They range in length from the size of a pencil to 32 feet. With only brief interruptions, the organ has been in continuous use, and today visitors can enjoy free hour-long concerts on Sundays at 2pm, given by civic organist Carol Williams; free concerts are also held in the evening during the summer months. There’s seating for 2,400 but little shade, so bring an umbrella on warm days.
