Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

You found this. Be the first one here.

For San Diego, the holidays don't really start until the Grinch turns green in Balboa Park. The Old Globe's Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas! has been the city's defining Christmas tradition for more than a quarter-century, the show grandparents take grandkids to in the same seats they once sat in themselves, all Whos and roast beast and a heart that grows three sizes right on cue. It is warm, silly, gorgeously designed, and just short enough for the youngest theatergoers. This year it runs November 4 through December 31, 2026, on the Old Globe Theatre stage in Balboa Park. Book early (it sells fast every December), make it part of a day among the park's lights and museums, and come do the single most San Diego thing there is to do at Christmas. Some traditions earn their place; this is one of them.
