San Diego is alive with events year-round, offering a wide range of activities that share a common goal: bringing the community together to celebrate. And a perfect example is coming to Petco Park this August.
In honor of Petco’s 60th anniversary, Bark at the Big Screen will take place at Gallagher Square inside Petco Park—a special movie night where dogs and their humans can enjoy a film under the stars.
Bark at the Big Screen in San Diego: Everything You Need to Know
The event will be held on August 12, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., with the movie beginning at 6:30 p.m. Please note that both people and dogs must have their own tickets to attend. Human tickets are priced at $15 (plus tax), while dog tickets cost $5 (plus tax). Each dog must be accompanied by an adult.
The featured film is The Sandlot, a beloved classic that tells the story of a new kid in town who learns to play baseball and bonds with a group of friends over a summer filled with unforgettable adventures.
