The Toast of Gaslamp is a self-guided walking tour of participating Gaslamp Quarter bars & restaurants on Saturday, December 14^th, 2019, from 1 -5 pm. Gather your pals for an afternoon of tasting, toasting, and shopping with 20 sips, 20 bites, and 10 shopping deals. Plus, don’t miss the festive afterparty hosted at The Smoking Gun.

Toast of Gaslamp is the perfect way to spend an afternoon festively feasting through some of Downtown San Diego’s best bars, restaurants, and retailers, with each stop sharing their seasonal specialties for you to enjoy along the way.

Tickets are only $25 in advance and $30 on the day of the event. Don’t forget to round up your fellow elves, dig up your favorite ugly holiday sweater, and flaunt your best pair of reindeer ears for a chance to win the Gaslamp Grand Prize Giveaway. One lucky festive winner will receive a package filled with Gaslamp Quarter goodies including gift cards, prizes from restaurants, shopping and more! All you have to do is don your festive attire to receive a raffle ticket upon check-in to participate, then toast your way through the Gaslamp. The winner will be announced at 5 pm at the check-in.
