over the world. The festival will feature dozens of documentaries, shorts, and movies to be screened September 8th through 11th at the San Diego Natural History Museum and The Museum of Photographic Arts both located in Balboa Park.

re you a good witch or a bad witch? A nice fairy or a naughty fairy? This years Red Dress Party San Diego (RDPSD) will be themed “Once Upon a Time!” Embark on a storybook adventure where you’re invited to let loose, celebrate impact, and live happily ever after (for one night only). Fall into this wonderland of “pants less” prince charming’s, damsels in their dresses, mighty heroes in all red, and maybe an evil queen or two. If you’re not feeling the fantasy, that’s fine too: any red dress or dress-like garment (just no pants!) will do. It’s simply there to help you channel your creativity. RDPSD 2022 will return to the Port Pavilion on Broadway Pier. Guests will enter through the bay-side double doors directly into the Pavilion, a 15,000 square foot, open-air megaspace that’s all on one level, with room for over 1,000 attendees. This Pavilion features 40-foot-tall ceilings and massive windows that give views to the San Diego Bay. On the back end of the Pavilion are oversized roll-up doors that open to the View Court – a large outdoor space right on the water. Guests can expect all their favorites such as live entertainment, a DJ, photo booths, on-site HIV testing, and a night of celebration and impact.
