Harry Potter in Concert | Friday, August 21, 2026 | Rady Shell

Hogwarts by Orchestra, the Bay by Boat.

The Sorcerer's Stone score played live under the stars while you watch from the deck of a real 1938 ship — the closest thing San Diego has to sailing to Hogwarts.

Friday, August 21 | Boards 5:30 PM | Returns about 10:30 PM

You are not missing the concert.
You are hearing it from the harbor.

John Williams' Hogwarts score live to film — a family-magic night; robes and house scarves encouraged aboard. JADA anchors alongside the Rady Shell, giving guests a more relaxed, more atmospheric night than the usual venue routine.

Reserve Your Spot

A Better Concert Night for Harry Potter in Concert (Friday)

Saturday night sold out last time this played — Friday aboard JADA is the smart wizard's move. (Saturday sail also available.)

BYOB, done elegantly

Bring your own wine, champagne, or beer. No liquor-license overpromising. No corkage. Your night, your taste.

Your own picnic

Bring charcuterie, sandwiches, sushi, or a packed luxury picnic. JADA is the setting, not a catered-meal promise.

Actual live performance

The Shell sits right on San Diego Bay. You hear the real show from the deck with skyline views and harbor air.

Practical Answers

Will I really hear the live show from the boat?
Yes. The Rady Shell is an open-air waterfront venue and sound carries clearly over the bay. This is the actual live performance, heard from the deck.
Can I bring my own food and drinks?
Yes. BYOB and your own picnic are part of the concept. We do not describe this as an open bar or catered event, and we do not promise hot food service.
How does payment work?
Your booking request creates a short hold. You then use the payment method you selected at checkout. For manual methods, include your confirmation number in the payment note. Once payment is confirmed, you receive a paid confirmation email.
Where do I board?
Choose Harbor Island Sheraton dock or the Coronado dock by the jet ski rentals near the Ferry Building once JADA is anchored.
