September 15, 2025

San Diego, it's Monday. There's rain in the forecast, Oktoberfest in the air, and just enough summer left to pretend it isn't over.

Let’s kick the week off with a win: a pair of tickets to Josh Blue at Sycuan Casino Resort on 9/27, PLUS dinner for two and an overnight stay. Yes, really. Comedy + a staycation? We got you.

Enter to win!*

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • Dan Mangan and Israel Nebeker walk into a bar... and turn it into a night of acoustic heartbreak and lyrical gold. This rare collaboration hits Soda Bar on 2/8 and promises cozy vibes and musical goosebumps.

  • From Vine to sold-out global stages, Kurtis Conner’s stand-up is a masterclass in clever quips. Catch The Goodfellow World Tour at Balboa Theatre on 10/5. Secure your seats now.*

  • R&B star Danileigh brings her live show to Music Box the Monday after Thanksgiving. Perfect if you want to dance off some stuffing.

  • The 16th Annual San Diego Spirits Festival is back this weekend at MCASD — and it’s not playing around. We’re talking oysters, top-shelf booze, and La Jolla views that slap harder than the tequila. Pull up, drink up, live a little.*

  • Plus, other just-announced shows from Frank Walker, Pulsars, Tamar Berk, Geezer, and more!

Hispanic Heritage Month kicks off today, and we made a whole damn guide for it. History deep dives, neighborhood spotlights, local legends, and the best places to eat, drink, and celebrate the Hispanic communities that shaped San Diego.

Still working on this*
