Downtown San Diego is home to many annual special events, both large and small. Events such as Mardi Gras in the Gaslamp, Comic-Con, the Rock 'N Roll Marathon and San Diego Padres baseball games at Petco Park bring people together for a fun Downtown experience.
The Clean & Safe program works closely with event promoters to ensure the public right of way within the event venue is cleaned up and restored in a timely fashion to minimize any inconvenience to the general public.
