Spreckels Organ Outdoor Pavilion

The Spreckels Organ Pavilion in San Diego, California, is home to the world's largest outdoor organ, played weekly by one of only two civic organists in the U.S. Visitors can enjoy free one-hour Sunday concerts at 2 p.m., rain or shine, performed by San Diego’s civic organist. For evening or special performances, check the pavilion's website.

Built for the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, this grand outdoor organ celebrates the opening of the Panama Canal and is a central feature of Balboa Park. The pavilion boasts bench seating and a dramatic Renaissance-style wraparound archway flanking the organ's 5,000 pipes, which range from the size of a pencil to 32 feet high. This unique musical experience is a must-see for anyone visiting San Diego.
