🐊 Gator By The Bay

Thursday, May 8 - Sunday, May 11 @ Spanish Landing Park (4:30PM)

San Diego meets the Bayou with 100+ bands, 10,000 pounds of crawfish, and one wildly danceable weekend. Gator By The Bay takes over Spanish Landing Park with zydeco, blues, Cajun, and local legends like Kimmi Bitter and Chunky Hustle. Enter to win tix!*

🌱 San Diego Vegan Fest

Saturday, May 10 @ Waterfront Park (11AM)

🐍 The Detroit Cobras

Friday, May 23 @ Casbah (8:30PM)

The Detroit Cobras built their legacy on garage soul grit – digging up deep-cut R&B gems and giving them a raw, rock’n’roll remix. The late Rachel Nagy’s voice still echoes through it all, as the band keeps her spirit alive onstage with every fuzzed-out chord.
