Here’s What You Don’t Want to Miss in May at SeaWorld San Diego!

May 16, 2025

Make the most of your Spring by visiting SeaWorld and enjoying these amazing May offerings!

 

Viva La Música concert

 

Can you believe it’s already the middle of May? Time flies, but hopefully you’ve visited the park and enjoyed the special events and offers, like SoCal Taco Fest, Viva La Música, your monthly Pass perks and more!

 

The thrills and excitement aren’t over just yet. There’s still two more weeks to experience everything SeaWorld San Diego has to offer this month and make this May one for the books!

 

Viva La Música

 

Viva La Música continues this weekend for its grand finale, wrapping up with a splash! It’s an electrifying celebration you do not want to miss out on—from irresistible, fiery dishes to even hotter entertainment.

Make a day of it with ALL of the Viva fun! Here’s my perfect itinerary for you:

  • Become inspired by sensational Folkorico performances from a local community group, Grupo Folklorico Herencia Mexicana. 
  • See the incredible talent and work of Josué Baltezar as he paints a SeaWorld inspired mural. 
  • Tap into your creative side by creating your own Papel Picado Banner, a popular Mexican art style. 
  • Get a glimpse of Team Yonkes’ incredible collection of Scale Crawlers and RC Lowriders
  • Dance off the stress of the week by enjoying some SoCal tunes from our Viva La Musica DJ.

If this has worn you out, feast on our delicious tastings and sips  with over 25 new flavors!!!! Grab the classic Tostilocos, or if you’re feeling adventurous, try the Shrimp Ceviche Tostilocos or Esquite Tostilocos. And of course, you must enjoy some tacos! Whether you grab Taco de Nopales or Fish Tacos, you will be delighted. The best part is you can pair these foods with any of our Agua Frescas offerings, whether you grab a Mango or Strawberry Agua Frescas.  

 

A MUST-TRY: One of my favorite additions this year has been the Papas Locas Hut near Wild Arctic! My go-to order is the Birria Baked Potato and the Hot Cheetos with Cheese, it’s absolutely delicious and so flavorful. If you haven’t headed over, you have to! I 100% recommend it.  

 

Bayside Amphitheater concert

 

My favorite part of Viva awaits!!! What better way to close out Viva La Música than with the best energy you’ll find in San Diego! That’s right, it’s time for our Viva La Musica concert!   On Saturday and Sunday night, head over to Bayside Amphitheatre to groove to a unique blend of traditional banda sounds and rhythms from the one and only, La Original Banda El Limón! All you need to enjoy this extra fun fiesta is your SeaWorld San Diego ticket, so join in by visiting the park this weekend.

 

Insider Tip: Enhance your concert experience by purchasing Reserved Seating or VIP Reserved Seating to guarantee maximum fun! Or even better, purchase a meet & greet for a great view of the concert and the chance to meet the band after the show! And as a Pass Member, enjoy sweet savings on these experiences.
