SAN DIEGO (KGTV) \u2014 If you’re looking for something free to do in San Diego, Balboa Park’s Spreckles Organ Pavilion has you covered.<\/p>\n
Every Monday night at 7:30 through September 7, the pavilion is hosting the 38th Annual San Diego International Organ Festival \u2014 and admission is free.<\/p>\n
Artistic Director and municipal organist Ra\u00fal\u00a0 Prieto Ramirez is helping to coordinate the festival, which features a wide variety of performances including organ concerts, a symphony, a rock band, and improvised music paired with a silent movie.<\/p>\n
“We believe we are making San Diego a better place to live by keeping this tradition going, so people should come and take advantage of it,” Prieto Ramirez said.<\/p>\n
The festival runs on Monday nights, but free Sunday afternoon concerts at the pavilion are also a regular fixture for San Diego residents.<\/p>\n
Built in 1915 and gifted by the Spreckles Brothers, the pavilion is a San Diego landmark. And the free concerts aren’t going anywhere \u2014 even after the festival wraps up, the pavilion continues to offer free programming year-round, rain or shine.<\/p>\n
