WHENEVER

⭐️ Kinfolk Fest - San Diego Juneteenth

Saturday, June 14 @ Waterfront Park (2PM)

Kinfolk Fest returns for Juneteenth, bringing Black culture and music to the forefront. Think R&B, hip-hop, afrobeats, DJs, a stacked lineup, plus Black-owned vendors, eats, and drinks. This is where the culture links up, and your summer officially kicks off.

🌞 Del Mar Village Summer Solstice

Saturday, June 21 @ Powerhouse Park, Del Mar (5PM)

Del Mar’s Summer Solstice brings together award-winning chefs and more fun for one afternoon. Your ticket gets you bites, sips, a commemorative glass, and live island-style music from Ben Benavente and the Stateside Bruddahs – all in support of the Del Mar Village community.

 🪩 DAY.MVS In The Park

Friday, June 27 @ Petco Park (5PM)

Disco in the daylight? Don’t mind if we do. Purple Disco Machine leads the charge at DAY.MVS, with Roosevelt, The Magician, and Kinjō keeping it funky. FNGRS CRSSD is curating the soundtrack – Gallagher Square’s handling the rest.
