Daily Email - Tuesday - 10/14/2025

October 14, 2025

Go ahead and cancel whatever you had planned — the rain said so.

While you're inside sipping tea and romanticizing your life, picture this: Bella Vita Fest is coming to Little Italy this weekend, complete with wine tastings, chalk art, and a no-joke pizza competition. We’re giving away tasting passes. Win ‘em now and let the drizzle turn into a downpour of mozzarella.*

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • Sports is like if Tame Impala had a baby with 80s prom night — and they’re playing Quartyard on 5/5. Bring your friends who think they have good music taste.

  • Put respect on his name: George Clinton basically invented your favorite band’s favorite sound. Catch him and Parliament Funkadelic in all their rainbow-hued glory at Music Box this 1/18.

  • If you’ve been thirsting for a proper night of femme-fronted mayhem, mark 11/17. Frida Kill + Savage & The Witch + The Overdrives + Infinity Eyes = a loud, cathartic, gloriously gnarly evening at Soda Bar.

  • San Diego’s about to get absolutely demolished by the bass god himself: Kai Wachi storms NOVA on 12/12. His live sets are intense and somehow still deeply beautiful. Like dubstep with a diary.

  • Plus, other just-announced shows from Fortune Feimster, The Elovaters, David Sedaris, Weatherbox, King of Heck, Fieldrush, and more!

GUIDE TO SAN DIEGO’S BEST SOUP

Soup season has finally arrived — and no, we don’t mean microwaving Progresso. We’re talking about the real stuff. Broths, bisques, bowls so good they’ll ruin your taste in ramen forever. Click here to find your next rainy day obsession.

IN THE FUTURE

🚒 10th Annual SDFD Mustache Madness: In Support of FirefighterAid

Thursday, October 30 @ Mavericks (5PM)

Mustaches. Firefighters. A Stranger Things theme. If that’s not enough to grab you, throw in a live Hairforce concert, raffles, drink specials, and a full-on costume party for a good cause. 100% of Mustache Madness ticket proceeds go to FirefighterAid.

⛵️ Kona Kai San Diego’s Fifth Annual Sails & Ales

Saturday, November 8 @ Kona Kai San Diego (1PM)

You ever sip a cold IPA while watching the sun dip behind a line of sailboats? No? Fix that at Sails & Ales. It’s back for year five with unlimited tastings from San Diego favorites, a marina backdrop, and a playlist of good vibes only.

🎅 SANTACON 2025

Saturday, December 13 @ Belmont Park (4PM)

Dust off your red suit and prepare for total chaos: SANTACON is coming. Belmont Park will be overrun with hundreds of partying St. Nicks, and while the lineup’s still under wraps, the vibes are never a mystery.

💚 Shrek Rave

Friday, December 26 @ House of Blues (9PM)

Shrek Rave: where the bass is dirty and the vibes are filthier. This thing started as a goof and turned into one of the most unhinged raves on the circuit. Don’t ask questions. Just go.

❄️ Disney On Ice: Let’s Dance

Thursday, January 22 - Saturday, January 24 @ Pechanga Arena

This is the show your niece, nephew, or inner child has been waiting for. Disney On Ice: Let’s Dance brings the magic of Mickey, Moana, and Elsa to life with gravity-defying choreography and arena-sized sparkle. Multiple shows, so no excuses.

Last Home Game of the Season

San Diego Wave FC faces Chicago Stars FC in their final home match of the regular season — and it’s a family-friendly showdown. For every adult ticket you buy, you’ll get one kid’s ticket FREE. Even better? We’re giving away tickets to the match.*

LOCALS ONLY

  • And just like that, the Padres need a new manager. Again. Mike Shildt has called it a wrap after two seasons, and while he’s off to presumably stress-free pastures, the rest of us are bracing for another hot stove season of rumors.

  • If you follow your ex on IG but not your favorite band on our site… what are you even doing? Seriously, following your favorite artists on DoSD means we actually tell you when they’re playing our city. No algorithm roulette. No "Wait, they were just here??" meltdowns. Just pure, show-not-missed, bragging-rights energy. Follow now, regret nothing later.
