👋 Hey, it's Brandon. Welcome to Area 619, your weekly guide to San Diego's best local events and hidden gems—so you never run out of weekend plans.
Good morning, San Diego. Another packed weekend is here, and I couldn’t be more excited to dive back into the chaos of music festivals, foodie indulgences, and art that makes you stop and think (or at least take a selfie). There’s a little something for everyone this week, and if you’re like me, your only problem will be choosing what to skip.
In Area 619 today:
🎤 Nelly, Ja Rule & Eve bring peak 2000s nostalgia
🎆 Fireworks meet symphonies at The Rady Shell
🥂 A jazz brunch cruise that feels bougie in the best way
Let’s get to it.
