Design for Everyone is an invitation for all of San Diego to explore and celebrate design. Design shapes everything around us: what we wear, the spaces we live in, the products we use, the digital world we navigate, and the culture we enjoy, yet too few people get to see it up close. Design Week 2026 is a celebration of world-class design across every discipline, packed with exhibitions, workshops, and experiences that let you see, touch, and understand the craft behind the things you love. Whether you want to sharpen your skills, connect with San Diego’s creative community, or simply be inspired by exceptional design, this week is for you.
Join us for an unforgettable week of creativity and innovation. San Diego Design Week offers a platform for designers and enthusiasts to connect and collaborate.
