Fireworks Show Returns To SeaWorld San Diego For Holiday Season

SAN DIEGO, CA — Fireworks will light up the sky over SeaWorld San Diego for the holiday season.

Beginning Dec. 9, "A Christmas Wish Fireworks Show" will return every Friday, Saturday and Sunday in December at the marine life theme park. Starting Dec. 22, the show will take place daily through Dec. 31.

Guests will hear Christmas wishes told during the colorful pyrotechnics display, which begins 10 minutes prior to the park closing. Special fireworks displays will be held at 5:30 p.m. Dec. 9 to kick off the Mission Bay Boat Parade, as well as at 9 p.m. Dec. 31 to celebrate New Year's Eve.

The festive fireworks show coincides with SeaWorld San Diego's annual Christmas Celebration.

Nominated for 2024 Best Theme Park Holiday Event by USA Today 10Best, Christmas Celebration transforms the theme park into a winter wonderland under the SkyTower Tree of Lights, which SeaWorld calls San Diego's biggest Christmas tree.

Event highlights include a daily tree lighting of a 30-foot-tall Christmas tree, an all-new theater show, a festive parade and photos with Santa Claus. Holiday offerings, including Hanukkah festivities, take place on select dates through Jan. 7.
