Tourists are also not letting the rain stop the celebration.
βComing from Phoenix, where rain is almost non-existent, so itβs almost something that we are enjoying,β Gleb Vecherkov said.
Many businesses in San Diego are relying on people to go out during the holiday weekend.
βWe are hoping the normal tourists come through, with this weather you know it might be a little bit different,β Joey Busalacchi, owner of Barbusa restaurant in Little Italy, said.
The holiday season typically results in a big financial gain for businesses.
βDuring the holiday weekend and throughout December we usually see about a 20% gain,β Busalacchi said.
People are already making plans for how they would like 2024 to playout.
βI want to travel more. Hopefully I have that opportunity,β Herrera said.
