San Diego, it’s 75° and partly confused. Is it fall? Is it summer? Who cares — it’s wine season.

This weekend, the La Jolla Art & Wine Festival is back, and we’ve got your last shot at snagging Wine & Beer Garden tickets. Over 170 artists. 35+ boozy vendors. Pet adoptions. Silent auction. Ocean breeze. You’ve procrastinated long enough — enter now before this glass empties.

JUST ANNOUNCED

• Catch Sudan Archives at Music Box on 2/19. If you think violins can’t rage, you’ve clearly never seen her live. She's the kind of artist who makes the whole room feel like it’s levitating.

• Cutwater turned their tasting room into a haunted maritime fever dream for all of October. It’s not just themed drinks — we’re talking full decor, interactive actors, limited edition merch, and a hidden speakeasy with tattoo artists and cursed glassware. Book The Captain’s Curse early.*

• You don’t need to like country to love Margo Price. She brings punk energy to Americana, writes like a poet, and performs like a wildfire. Her Wild at Heart Tour hits Belly Up in March, and it’s gonna be magic.

• If you’ve ever screamed at your TV during DWTS, now’s your chance to do it IRL. The 2026 Tour hits San Diego in April with all your favorite dancers, glammed-up drama, and routines you’ll try (and fail) to recreate at home.

• Plus, other just-announced shows from The English Beat, The Roots, The Moss, Twen, Madeleine Peyroux, and more!
