The San Diego California Temple in La Jolla will host a public open house for the first time in 33 years, following extensive renovations. - Free tours run June 18 to July 11, excluding Saturdays.

- The temple was closed for three years for exterior, interior, and seismic upgrades. - Only church members could enter previously; the open house aims to foster transparency.

- A formal dedication ceremony is scheduled for August 23. This rare opportunity allows the public to explore the iconic 72,000-square-foot structure with its soaring white spires.
