Hello, March.
How is it already March? How?! 2013, slow down for a second.
There is a LOT of stuff going down in the Village this month. Let me give you a little rundown:
March 23 & 24th is our famed Spring Busker Festival.
Seaport Village will welcome the unthinkable from around the world at its annual Spring Busker Festival, Saturday, March 23 and Sunday, March 24, 2013 from 12 p.m. – 5 p.m. The celebration brings colorful street performers from jugglers on unicycles to stilt walkers, contortionists and acrobalancers to the cobblestone streets of downtown’s Seaport Village. The extraordinary and bizarre talents at this year’s festival will provide outdoor amusement for all unlike any other festival in the region.
As well as our infamous Buskers After Dark on that Saturday evening, March 23rd, 6 pm - 10 pm.
The awe-inspiring antics of Seaport Village's street performers will run late into the night. Exposing the truest form of busking with untamed performances, Buskers After Dark. The evening event will entertain guests 18 and older with unedited amusement including fire jugglers, comedians, acrobats, beverages and a DJ spinning beats.
The Easter Bunny will be hopping into the Village to take pictures the week before Easter! March 26-30, 11 am - 4 pm each day. The Bunny will be located near the food court in between Frosted Robin Cupcakes & Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream-- surrounded by tempting treats, to say the least!
And to end the month with a BANG Magic 92.5 will be hosting their 10th Annual Bunny Drop at the Village! They will be hiding 40,000 eggs throughout our 14 acres. It is sure to be a really fun time. You can get all the details for that here.
Photos from thier event last year can be seen here (It was not held at Seaport Village last year)-
So as you can see we have a BUSY month ahead of us. But we are excited. We hope you plan to come down for at least one of our festive March activities.
Spring is officially here,

The Headquarters
Well hello there! I am sorry things have been sparce on the blog for the past few months. There is a lot of stuff going on in our little neck of the woods and it is time that I started to tell you about it!
The biggest thing that will be happening over here is this fall (October, hopefully) our sister property, The Headquarters, will be opening!
Have you heard about The Headquarters? Do you know what that is? Let me enlighten you.
First, location. The Headquarters is located on Harbor Drive between Pacific Highway & Kettner. So if you were standing on Harbor Drive looking at the water you would see: The Headquarters, our parking lot, Seaport Village, waterfront. Yes, we are very close. So close in fact that the opening of The Headquarters will be the official kick off to our area which will now be known as, The Seaport District.
Now let me give you a little history lesson:
The Headquarters is a legendary San Diego landmark.
Built in 1939 and listed on The National Register of Historic Places, this iconic complex originally served as the San Diego Police Headquarters. Its inspired mix of architectural styles – Spanish Revival, Mediterranean Revival, Pueblo Revival and Classical Revival - creates a romantic, old California flavor for its new retail persona, and a complimentary element to its contemporary shops and eateries.
With exquisitely detailed materials and finishes reflecting the great San Diego boulevards of the ‘30s and ‘40s, and an open floor plan encouraging circulation and social engagement, The Headquarters will have a richly authentic sense of place unrivaled in downtown San Diego.
Simply put, the architecture and history make this a really special place.
So what will The Headquarters be NOW exactly? This is where it really gets fun! The Headquarters is becoming a place where world class shopping & dining will live.
The Headquarters’ open-air, pedestrian-friendly environment along the waterfront will become a place people can feel a part of, not just a place to shop. It will be a destination, enjoying the patronage of families because of its broad array of multi-generational activities, and its feeling of safety, creativity and beauty. The debut of this exciting retail concept will also introduce a new level of outdoor retail and entertainment sophistication to Seaport District. Travelers from every continent will make The Headquarters the place where the world comes to shop.
A lot will be happening in the next year. We here at Seaport Village are excited for this new developement and as things unfold I will do my best to keep you in the loop!
Keeping you informed,
