Del Mar Racetrack Events

The Summer Del Mar Racing Season is coming in San Diego! I always love attending opening day, which is Friday, July 21, 2023 this year! I also have the scoop for all Del Mar Racetrack events coming up! Going to the races on opening day is a longtime San Diego tradition. It is THE DAY to wear fun or fancy attire and lavash hats. It’s the day to attend “The Party”, bet on a few races and do all the people watching. If you’re looking for fun and fabulous events in Del Mar, check out our Del Mar Racetrack Events Guide below!
