Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Save Starlight is an initiative working to restore, revive and revitalize Starlight Bowlan open-air amphitheater in the heart of San Diegos Balboa Park. The Bowl has been closed since 2012, and has fallen into disrepair.We envision a venue for open-air performances, concerts, cinema, festivals, plays, community events, and musical theater. We imagine a new generation of diverse performances, a stage for the San Diego community hosting magical entertainment experiences. Our goal is to preserve the Bowls heritage, ensure accessibility, and use creative technology to address opportunities and challenges for its location and architecture.
