About

Hot air balloons launch at dawn over Lake Skinner -- twenty of them, rising slow and quiet above the Temecula Valley while the winery crowd below is still on their first glass of the morning. This is the Temecula Valley Balloon and Wine Festival, June 5-7, 2026, at Lake Skinner Recreation Area in Winchester, CA.

Three days of hot air balloon launches, live music on two stages, and wine tastings from Temecula Valley's best producers. Friday and Saturday nights end with a balloon glow -- the baskets lit from inside, the whole valley turning amber against the dark. It is one of the few outdoor events where the main attraction runs on weather and wind instead of a fixed setlist.

The lineup: over 20 balloons in the morning launches (subject to conditions -- the pilots announce at first light), local winery booths spanning the full Temecula AVA, two music stages running afternoon through late evening, and food vendors covering everything from classic fair food to Temecula BBQ.

Getting there: Lake Skinner is off Warren Road, Winchester, CA 92596. The Recreation Area has parking on site. Arrive early for balloon launches -- they happen at sunrise, typically 6-7am, and end before midday heat sets in. Gates open Friday afternoon. Weekend passes and single-day tickets at tvbwf.com. Bring layers for the early launch -- the valley is cool at dawn even in June.

San Diego Wave FC Home Match — May 24 at Snapdragon Stadium Coming Soon 3h away

San Diego Wave FC Home Match — May 24 at Snapdragon Stadium
Today · May 24 9449 Friars Rd, San Diego, CA 92108

San Diego Wave FC return to Snapdragon Stadium on May 24 for a late-May Sunday afternoon NWSL match — the kind of day in San Diego that makes everyone who lives here remember why they do. May Sundays at Snapdragon carry family-day energy: the supporter section in full voice, a younger crowd visible throughout the lower deck, and the game played at a pace that rewards the attention of anyone willing to watch it closely. The Wave have built a genuine sporting identity in San Diego — the uniform, the crest, the culture around the club that extends beyond the results. A Sunday afternoon in Mission Valley in late May against NWSL competition is the kind of low-stakes high-quality sports afternoon that gets described to people who weren't there in the same terms as a concert or a sunset.

San Diego Brew Fest
In 6 days · May 30 NTC Park at Liberty Station, 2455 …

San Diego Brew Fest takes over NTC Park at Liberty Station on May 30, 2026 — seventy-plus local and regional breweries, unlimited tastings, live music, food trucks, and zero pretension in one of the best outdoor event spaces in the city. San Diego's craft beer scene is one of the most concentrated in the country, and Brew Fest is where it shows up in one place. The breweries pouring here aren't the same names you find at every national beer event — they're the ones that built the San Diego reputation in the first place: small-batch IPAs, experimental sours, lagers brewed with local ingredients. Over 200 beers on pour across 70+ breweries. You're not going to drink them all. You're going to find three you didn't know existed and wonder why you've been drinking anything else. The format rewards casual discovery. No complicated sampling systems — you get a glass, you walk, you try things. The NTC Park setting means you have actual space: open lawn, shade structures, room to sit down with your group. It doesn't feel like a festival parking lot. It feels like a Saturday afternoon where something good happens to be going on outside. Is it worth it? If you care about craft beer in San Diego at all, yes. Early admission (noon entry) is worth the upgrade if you want the first pour hour before lines build at the most popular booths. After 1pm it fills out but stays comfortable — this isn't a mosh pit, it's a beer garden with table games and live music. What to know before you go: bring sunscreen and a light layer for late afternoon when the marine layer rolls in. Food trucks are on-site — eat something before tastings start. Liberty Station has free parking directly adjacent to NTC Park. The event runs rain or shine. Tickets are sold through the official website (not Ticketmaster) — buy in advance, prior editions have sold out. Designated driver tickets available if you're the one driving. San Diego Brew Fest is one of the few craft beer events in SoCal that feels like it was built for the people who actually live here — not for a crowd flying in for a weekend. That's the difference you taste in the first pour.

San Diego Padres vs Philadelphia Phillies at Petco Park Coming Soon 21h away

San Diego Padres vs Philadelphia Phillies at Petco Park
Tomorrow · May 25 100 Park Blvd, San Diego, CA 92101

Memorial Day weekend at Petco Park. The Phillies come to San Diego on May 25th carrying the particular energy of a team that travels well — Philadelphia fans follow their teams, they make noise in the opposing park, and they make the crowd around them feel the game harder. That friction is the best version of a regular season game. The Petco Park experience in late May is what drew people to baseball in the first place: the temperature is right, the sun drops into the outfield seats around the fifth inning, and the park fills with people who decided that today is the kind of day you don't spend indoors. The Phillies are a legitimate postseason contender, which means nothing about May 25th is throwaway. The Padres rotation and the bullpen dynamics that have been building all spring face a real test. Right field bleachers for the atmosphere. Infield seats for the angles. Either way you leave having watched real baseball, in the right park, in the right city, at the right time of year. Check mlb.com/padres for availability. The Tommy John stand behind left field is not optional. Memorial Day weekend at Petco has a specific energy — the holiday, the stakes, the crowd that showed up for both.

Live music in a room like Constellation Room has a specific physics: the sound arrives before you've decided how to feel about it, and Leanna Firestone With Special Guest Abby Cates has always known what to do with that. Leanna Firestone With Special Guest Abby Cates performs at Constellation Room in Santa Ana on May 27, 2026. Doors at 7:00 PM, show at 8:00 PM, All Ages. The crowd at a show like this has been waiting for exactly this room — the specific night where the distance between stage and floor is close enough to matter.

De Yun She 2026 World Tour 30th Anniversary Coming Soon 2 days away

De Yun She 2026 World Tour 30th Anniversary
In 3 days · May 27 6801 Hollywood Blvd., Dolby Theatr…

Dolby Theatre, 6801 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood. May 27th. De Yun She's 2026 World Tour 30th Anniversary — three decades of cross-talk performance, the traditional Chinese performance art that combines rapid-fire dialogue, wordplay, and comedic timing at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. De Yun She is the Beijing cross-talk troupe that has brought xiansheng — the traditional two-person comedic dialogue form — to arenas and theaters for thirty years. The anniversary tour lands at the Dolby Theatre, which is one of the grandest performing arts venues in Los Angeles, and the juxtaposition of a traditional Chinese art form in the building that holds the Oscars is its own kind of statement. Tickets at ticketmaster.com. May 27th. The Chinese community in Los Angeles has been following De Yun She for decades, and the 30th anniversary is the occasion the troupe has been building toward. The Dolby is sold out for similar events — book early. Cross-talk rewards knowing the references, but the timing and the commitment to the form is legible without the cultural context. This is performance at the highest level of a tradition that goes back centuries.

The Cab - The Back From The Dead Tour
In 4 days · May 28 400 W Disney Way, #337, House of B…

House of Blues Anaheim, 400 W Disney Way. May 28th. The Cab — the Las Vegas band that found an audience in the pop-punk and emo adjacent world of the late 2000s and held it through a career that the Back From the Dead tour name acknowledges directly — playing Anaheim on the tour that brings them back. The Cab occupies a specific place in the memory of people who were seventeen in 2008. The songs were radio-adjacent but sharper than radio, the live show was the version of the recorded material that the recordings were always pointing toward, and the House of Blues Anaheim is the scale that makes this work. Close enough to feel the room, far enough from the stage that the whole band is visible. Tickets at ticketmaster.com. May 28th. The House of Blues has seen this kind of reunion tour energy before and handles it well — the crowd that shows up for the Back From the Dead tour is the crowd that was there the first time and never really stopped listening. Be in the room for it.

You've seen everything.
