Citizens Coordinate for Century 3 will shine a light on Balboa Park and its abundant offerings to our city and the region while discussing ways forward and challenges ahead.

Tours will follow of the California Tower Observation Deck, the Japanese Friendship Garden hosted by project architect Kotaro Nakamura, Gardens of the Prado showcased by The Friends of Balboa Park, the Botanical Building with the San Diego Floral Association, and SOHO's  Souvenirs & Keepsakes of the Panama Exhibitions at the Marston House.
