Venue Description

Balboa Park's beautiful outdoor amphitheater has been home to Starlight Musical Theatre's summer shows since the late 1940s -- but back then the actors didn't have to coordinate with airplane noise. The 4,000-seat bowl is in the flight path to Lindbergh Field, and it's a San Diego tradition for the actors to freeze in their pose in mid-song as the planes pass overhead.

Map/Directions

The Starlight Bowl is located on Pan American Plaza in Balboa Park. Balboa Park covers 1200 acres and is just minutes away from San Diego. For detailed directions and maps please go to:
