Explore everything happening this season at Humphreys and start planning your autumn escape.
Fall Concerts by the Bay | Located Onsite
One of our favorite reasons to visit Humphreys in the fall is the continuation of the legendary season. While many destinations begin winding down after summer, Humphreys keeps the energy going with an outstanding lineup of live performances extending through early November.
There is something special about attending a concert in an intimate outdoor venue set along the waterfront at Humphreys Concerts by the Bay. As the sun sets over San Diego Bay and the evening air cools, guests can enjoy world-class entertainment in one of Southern California's most unique concert settings. Better yet, when you stay with us, you are steps from the venue, making it easy to turn your concert night into a fall getaway.
This season's lineup includes:
- October 17: 10,000 Maniacs
- October 23: TEN - US Showcase Tour
- October 24: America - The Happy Trails Tour 2026
- October 27: Gary Clark Jr.
- November 7: Dana Carvey
- November 10: Rodrigo y Gabriela - OurHome Tour
Instead of worrying about traffic, parking, or making the drive home after the show, guests can simply stroll back to their room and continue enjoying the island-inspired atmosphere. Select performances also feature dinner and hotel packages, making it even easier to build an entire weekend around your favorite artist. A concert, a waterfront dinner, and an overnight stay create the kind of fall getaway that feels both exciting and effortless.
Savor Fall Flavors at Humphreys SoCAL Dining & Music | Located Onsite
Fall is one of our favorite times to settle in by the marina. At Humphreys SoCAL Dining & Music, you can enjoy breakfast or dinner with waterfront views without ever leaving Shelter Island. On concert nights, it is especially easy to make dinner part of the evening before walking over to Humphreys Concerts by the Bay.
Start the day with breakfast overlooking the marina, or come back later for dinner and drinks as the sun goes down. With dining, live music and your room all close by, SoCAL gives you one more reason to slow down and enjoy more of your fall stay right here at Humphreys.
Kids Free at Half Moon Inn Makes Family Travel Even Better
