KAABOO Del Mar is rapidly approaching, ready to spread out over the Del Mar Racetrack and Fairgrounds September 13-15, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. This is the fifth iteration of the Del Mar fest, and once again the promoters have upped the ante. This one will be special.

KAABOO Del Mar features more than 100 national and international artists who will be displaying their work for viewing and purchase. Also there will be several contemporary public art installations throughout the fairgrounds, live art on the spot, and many opportunities to purchase great works of art to take home.

You’ll be treated to an upscale culinary experience with a wide variety of offerings from top chefs and restaurants in the San Diego area and beyond.

There is also an outstanding lineup of top comedians for you to enjoy at KAABOO Del Mar. This year, laugh your asses off along with Bob Saget, Bert Kreischer, Wayne Brady, Tom Green, Jen Kirkland, and Cristela Alonzo, just some of those performing. Your MC will be MK Paulson.
