Spreckels Organ Pavilion

South of Plaza de Panama looms the tiered benches, curved colonnade and ornate pavilion housing a 5017-pipe organ, said to be the world’s largest of its kind outdoors. Donated by the Spreckels family of sugar fortune and fame in 1914, the instrument came with the stipulation that San Diego must always have an official organist. The best time to visit is during the free concerts on Sundays. Seating is first-come, first-served. Check the website for special events.
