October 2023 San Diego Calendar of Events THANK YOU! Everyone who participated in the Clothing Drive for Father Joe's Villages really helped make a difference for so many unhoused people in San Diego! I am in awe of the generosity of my community!    Can you believe it's October already! I'm grateful for the cooler evenings and I'm looking forward to the coming season of celebrations. As always, San Diego knows how to keep us all busy. There are Octoberfests happening all over San Diego! Plus, the popular Haunted Trail will be open all month long in Balboa Park. Get out there and enjoy this fun season!    If you know anyone who might be interested in receiving this event calendar every month, please have them sign up at this  link.   October - Ponder this,  - "There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on, and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings, as now in October." — Nathaniel Hawthorne - San Diego may not have the autumnal

The days are now noticeably getting longer and while it may still be chilly for us, pretty soon San Diego's long sunny summer will be here.  February also means that many of us are now gearing up for tax season.
