San Diego hosts 1 festival in this guide, in California: CRSSD Festival.

San Diego has 1 festival in this guide. They run in March, and festival-day temperatures range from 21°C (70°F) to 21°C (70°F), with nights down to 13°C (55°F). That range is the reason there is no single "San Diego festival outfit". The answer changes by month and by site.

Conditions are moderate across the board, so the day-to-night temperature drop is the thing to plan for rather than the weather itself.

The ground matters as much as the sky. Every festival here is on city streets, which puts broken-in trainers or a low boot at the top of the list for most of these events. None of them have camping on site, so you are travelling in and out each day and the outfit has to survive the journey at both ends.

Stylistically the crowd here leans house, techno, underground and urban. CRSSD Festival is the largest of them at around 15,000 people, and it sets the tone the smaller ones react to. None of that is a dress code. It is what you will see, which is worth knowing if you would rather blend in or deliberately not.

Down to about 13°C (55°F) at the coldest of these festivals. That is cold enough that a jacket you can carry all day is worth the inconvenience.

Broken-in boots or trainers, and never anything new. You will walk 15.000 to 30.000 steps a day, and footwear is the only garment that can end your weekend early.
