SAN DIEGO, Nov. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Nonprofit venues in Balboa Park have been hit especially hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. Many have been through three rounds of closures with no stability in sight. Some, such as the performing arts organizations, have not held public performances since March.

With the holidays fast approaching, people can shop for unique gifts all while supporting the Balboa Park venues they love. With options for in-person shopping, new online shops, as well as the gift of experiences, shoppers are sure to find something for everyone on their list!

Michael Warburton, Director of Parkwide Communications for the park's Cultural Partnership, said "Shopping with the nonprofits in Balboa Park will help them get through hardships due to COVID-19 and ensure their survival."
