Stay Local This Weekend, with Musicals, Concerts, Fine Wine and Films

After last weekend’s busy schedule of superheroes, science fiction and sandcastles, this final weekend in July is a bit more lax. That’s not to say there isn’t stuff to do—we’ve got plenty of events in town and beyond that will satisfy the down-to-earth and the go-getters.

From July 29-31, La Jolla has some local community events, like a film festival for the fashionable only, a reggae concert featuring a Marley, and a new musical at the Playhouse.

Travel downtown for some all-day doggie fun on Sunday or travel north to Carlsbad for a good cause. Enjoy these last days of July!
