The most action-packed motorsports event for families is returning to San Diego for an adrenaline-charged weekend at Petco Park Jan. 15 and Jan 16, 2022. This much-anticipated event will welcome back fans after a 2-year hiatus due to the pandemic.

Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, Monster Jam features world-class athletes locked in intense competitions of speed and skill. Motorsports fans will witness heated rivalries, high-flying stunts and fierce head-to-head battles for the Event Championship.

The popular Monster Jam Pit Party fan experience will also return for this action-packed weekend. The pit party allows fans to see the massive trucks up close, meet their favorite drivers and crews, take pictures and enjoy other family-friendly fun.
