Barbie Truck Dreamhouse Tour Rolls Into Carlsbad This Weekend

CARLSBAD, CA — Following the global success of the "Barbie" movie, the iconic Mattel doll and her house are cruising across the country in 2024 — and the tour is stopping twice in San Diego County.

On Saturday, the Barbie Truck Dreamhouse Living Tour will stop at The Shoppes at Carlsbad. A second visit is planned in the San Diego area, with the tour stopping Feb. 10 at Otay Ranch Town Center in Chula Vista.

Organizers called the pop-up events "a continued celebration" of the 60th anniversary of "Barbie moving into her very first Dreamhouse" in 1962.

During the events, fans can purchase merchandise, including Barbie Dreamhouse-themed apparel, as well as home goods and accessories inspired by a day in the life of Barbie in her pink home. The merchandise list features T-shirts, hoodies, jackets, baseball caps, throw blankets, totes, patches, necklaces, keychains, pouches, plates, pet bowls, coasters, glass tumblers and mugs, accessory cups and trays, and thermal bottles.

Credit cards will be accepted and products range in price from $12 to $75, according to organizers. Customers can get a free gift with purchases over $40.

This is not the first year Barbie hit the road. The original Barbie Truck Totally Throwback Tour kicked off in Los Angeles in 2019, followed by the Barbie Malibu Truck Tour in 2021.

The current Barbie Truck Dreamhouse Living Tour will continue to tour across the country.

The truck will stop in Carlsbad from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday at The Shoppes at Carlsbad at 2525 El Camino Real. The truck will be located near the Regal Cinemas and Luna Grill.

The truck will stop in Chula Vista from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Feb. 10 at the covered food court entrance at Otay Ranch Town Center at 2015 Bird Road.
