Plans for the not-inexpensive festival of music, comedy, art and food known as KAABOO San Diego were cancelled for 2021 and optimistically rescheduled to return in 2022 due to complications from the then-spiking COVID pandemic. This did not happen. Meanwhile, 2023 has pretty much come and gone. But now, news is surfacing that KAABOO may be KAA-BACK. (Sorry.)
New Legal Hurdles
Now the return of KAABOO music festival to Del Mar Fairgrounds faces hurdles due to a lawsuit filed by Solana Beach. The city alleges that the fairgrounds approved the event without proper environmental review.
Solana Beach seeks measures to mitigate festival impacts on residents and businesses. The lawsuit aims to ensure agreements similar to previous years are in place.
The fairgrounds claim to have addressed concerns in the festival contract. Despite setbacks, KAABOO announced its 2024 return under new ownership. Specific dates for KAABOO 2024 remain unannounced.
A post on social media to simply “Stay Tuned” and follow KAABOO on social media for updates, is the first correspondence since the KAABOO Instagram in May 2021: “We are pleased to announce that as our world is beginning to return to regular programming, we have been hard at work tuning our strings for the highly anticipated return of KAABOO. Stay tuned for exciting news and announcements coming soon via social and email. We appreciate your patience and continued support of the brand. More soon…”
The move to host KAABOO at Petco Park was intended to give the festival the infrastructure for more space, safety, parking and amenities to take KAABOO to the next level. But. Yeah.
