and here at CBS 8 and The CW San Diego,
we are proud to be sponsors
of this year's big event.
All the fun is free album at Balboa Park.
Joining me right now to kind of
talk about what you can expect
going out there is Natasha,
Clara with the city of San Diego.
First off, we know it's really
popular and it's a lot of fun,
so that means a lot of
people are going there.
What do they need to know when they're going
down? So we have a lot of different
ways for you to get to December
nights on December nights.org.
You can check out all the
transportation options, you can get it.
And that doesn't cost you anything.
You could park at City College or
the San Diego Zoo for free or you
can pre purchase parking and you
can just go to our website and
you can pre purchase it online.
The December Nights website has
all the information people need
for transportation to make a plan.
Absolutely. What's new?
What is it again? I'm sorry?
December nights.org. There you go.

What's new this year?
That's gonna be exciting for people.
We actually, we know people are
watching their pocketbooks, so we
ended up putting in a free family.
It has crafts, activities for kids,
so many things for families to do.
So we have that.
We have another beer garden in the Plaza.
You'll hear a little bit about
some other things from our guests.
But there's there's some fun
entertainment plan. Plenty
of ways to have fun free.
But if you want to spend
a little money even more,
absolutely. We have a lot of free activities,
