After spending an evening on Cedros in Solana Beach, I decided to check out other towns with similar events. I looked for music, street fairs and some competitions. So here's some FREE fun ideas for the summer, and lots of ideas for those out of town visitors.
Musically, Encinitas Sunday Concerts by the Sea, which takes place on Sunday afternoons from July 5-August 16 is great. The concerts are at Moonlight Beach. Bring a chair and a towel and relax and listen.
Carlsbad Jazz in the Park takes place at 6pm on Fridays. Bring a picnic, a blanket and sit back and enjoy some wonderful music.
Balboa Park offers free organ concerts on Monday evenings at 7:30pm. This is the world's largest outdoor pipe organ. Again, a picnic in the park followed by some wonderful music.
Living at the beach gives us an opportunity to not only sun and swim, but to enjoy some of the competitive activities that take place over the summer. There is a sandcastle competition from July 18-19 at Imperial Beach Pier. I have seen this many times on tv, and maybe this is the year I will see it in person.
Free fly fishing lessons on Sundays from 9-12 at Lake Murray in La Mesa. If you don't have equipment, arrive a little bit early.
The annual World Body Surfing Championships take place August 22-23 at Oceanside Beach and Pier. That should be awesome.
There are several street fairs that might interest you. Ramona Country Fair Days runs from August 1-4. The 23rd Annual Ocean Beach Street Fair and Chili Cook Off is on June 27 from 10-8. There will be over 200 vendors and special events for kids.
There are many other wonderful small town fairs, parades, cook offs, and musical events. Read about our local events. You should never have a dull moment. There's so much to do in sunny Southern California.
