After a seven-year hiatus, Chula Vista HarborFest returns to the bayfront in 2026 – reimagined and refreshed. Making its long-awaited comeback since 2019, HarborFest sets sail once again as South Bay’s signature waterfront celebration – where the community’s love of maritime culture, live entertainment, and family-friendly summer experiences collide.
Powered by the City of Chula Vista and the Port of San Diego, HarborFest transforms Bayside Park into a vibrant seaside playground featuring live music, water activities, food stops, interactive family zones, and brand new activities to celebrate the bay.
With expanded programming, fresh partnerships, and new sponsor integrations, the 2026 HarborFest marks a bold new chapter for one of South Bay’s most beloved summer traditions.
