Hi, happy Friday (and first day of spring)!! Yesterday I asked for curly hair stylist recs for my boyfriend, and wow… you guys showed up. My inbox is thriving. Thank you to everyone who sent suggestions – I’m going through them and putting together a proper list (shoutout to the SD mom who requested it for her son 🥹). Coming next week.

Also, next week? Is going to be a circus. Convenient, because below I’m literally sending one of you (and a +1) to the circus. Circus Vargas’ new Masquerade! show is up in North County through 4/6, and we’ve got a pair of tickets for the final weekend. Enter to win a trip to the big top!

JUST ANNOUNCED

• San Diego Pride headliners are in: Krewella closes Saturday (7/18), and MARINA takes Sunday (7/19) in Balboa Park. Big EDM night vs emotional pop finale – either way, it’s a strong close. Tickets are already on sale.

• I feel like at least a few of you have at least one R3HAB song tied to a very specific era of your life, and this is kind of your excuse to revisit it. He’s playing NOVA on 5/9 – go relive your party phase.

• If your ideal festival involves a little reggae, a little punk, and being by the water, this one’s it. Mission Bayfest just dropped its lineup with Rebelution, Kolohe Kai, The Offspring, and more taking over the beach this fall. Grab your tix!

• Day party season is clocking in, and Quartyard said, “we’ll start.” SHINE lands on 5/17 with Dennis Quin and a Julian Ortega B2B Nilets set – aka a full plate of grooves in the sun.

• Dance floor is calling - check out the rest of the concerts just announced this month!

FREE UPCOMING EVENTS

Not everything needs to cost $40+ right now. We pulled together a list of free things to do around San Diego so you can still leave your house without financially spiraling. Start planning!
