If chili is your passion – obsession, maybe? – this is your San Diego weekend, whether in the city or in North County. And maybe craft beer too? Then this really is your weekend – and we mean, all weekend.
But first, perhaps you should work off some calories up front. Downtown Skate begins Friday at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina so you can bounce, rock, skate and roll with a waterfront view for $20 a session. The rink opens daily at noon through July 9.
If you’re classically inclined, Cinema Under the Stars in Mission Hills has a gem this weekend, and – preview – one next week too. Singin’ in the Rain, starring Gene Kelly in this iconic scene, screens at 8 p.m. Friday and Sunday. Coming up Thursday though July 6 – Casablanca – with WW2 intrigue, freedom fighters, and yes, Bogie and Bacall. Admission starts at $18.
No, It’s not July 4th until next week. But in Oceanside, this is the time to celebrate for a variety of reasons. The Oceanside Independence Parade, paced by floats and bands, starts at 10 a.m. Saturday, heading down Coast Highway from Wisconsin Avenue to Civic Center Drive. The theme? “Stars & Stripes by the Sea.”
Chili fanatics! Ready? Here you go:
The 45th Annual OB Street Fair & Chili Cook-Off opens at 10 a.m. Saturday along Newport Avenue in Ocean Beach. The event features art, food, music on two stages, a kids fun zone and the all-important chili contest, at 11 a.m. Tasting tickets start at $2 each. If good eats (and a spectacle) are your preferred forms of entertainment, there’s also the Dirty Birds Wing-Eating Contest at 1:30 p.m. and Hodad’s Burger-Eating Contest three hours later (time to digest?). The second annual Ace Hardware and First Command BBQ Competition in Oceanside starts at Ace Hardware, 263 S. Coast Highway, at 10:30 a.m. Saturday. The event, for charity, also features a food truck, photo contest and a “Christmas in June” at 8:30 p.m. And yes, it’s not just about barbecue – they take chili entrants too. Tickets start at $10 for tastes or range from $50-$100 to enter the competition.View this post on Instagram
