Chilly nights in San Diego? Rare. But October’s bringing fog, frights, and a whole lotta freaking. We’re talking rooftop ragers in the Gaslamp, Día de los Muertos in Old Town, big shows at our favorite venues, and the Padres getting loud. 50+ handpicked events so you can skip the planning and start ghosting your responsibilities.

THIS WEEK

⚾️ 2025 Wild Card Home Games

Tuesday - Thursday @ Petco Park

he Padres are charging into the 2025 Wild Card games, and San Diego’s ready. Postseason baseball here hits different — from rally towels flying to Petco’s skyline views. You’ll want to be in the seats.

🏁 Mario Kart Tournament

Tuesday @ ​Duck Foot Brewing - Leucadia (7PM)

Bring your best drift — the Mario Kart Tournament rolls with Alex Petit emceeing. Expect food, fresh pours, and enough red shells to ruin a friendship or two. Champion walks with bragging rights.

🎺 Samara Joy

Wednesday @ Humphrey’s Concerts by the Bay (8PM)

🔥 Above & Beyond

Thursday @ The Rady Shell (6PM)

Above & Beyond turn waterfront sunsets into euphoric moments at The Shell — and when the lights cut, the party spills straight to NOVA for the official afterparty. Two vibes, one night.
