SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — San Diego's Broadway Pier will host special holiday performances and art installations starting Thanksgiving Week.

The North Embarcadero will welcome the seasonal spirit with oversize sculptural words spelling "JOY" that list up at night, snowflake graphics along the pier, and a series of pop-up shows by local groups from Dec. 1 to 15.

The "JOY" installation will remain on the pier until early January 2020.

“The Port of San Diego is proud to sponsor these pop-up performances and the ‘JOY’ installation on Broadway Pier,” said Garry Bonelli, Chairman of the Board of Port Commissioners. “These artistic performances and the ‘JOY’ installation will welcome everyone to Broadway Pier, activate the waterfront and celebrate the holiday season.”

Visitors can enjoy performances by:

  • SACRA/PROFANA: A local choral program that brings its own take to holiday music with vibrant performances and collaborations.
