While the city’s Pride festival is just one week away, San Diego Black Pride will be in the spotlight this weekend.
The group is more than the event – it’s a non-profit organization that works throughout the year to build community. This year’s festival is a three-day event sharing one theme: “Unbound and Unlimited.”
“This is not just a celebration, it is a declaration,” the group said on its website. “A space curated by us and for us, rooted in pleasure as resistance and joy as strategy.”
Elsewhere around town, you’ve got events sure to lure the whiskey and brewery enthusiasts in your life, as well as an especially wide slate of music-related events. Emo and Northern Soul fans, this is the weekend for you.

Saturday, July 11
Barrio Logan celebrates Frida Kahlo’s Birthday: The Logan Avenue Cultural Corridor invites visitors to honor the Mexican art icon, who was born on July 6, 1907. Visitors are encouraged to not just visit the neighborhood’s art galleries and businesses, but check out art and merchandise inspired by Kahlo as well from noon to 7 p.m.
Death Cab For Karaoke: This San Diego band has carved out a piece of the intersection between emo and karaoke. How it works is, you sign up at the start of the night – you can see some of the songs the band will play here – and the band calls you to the stage during their set when they play the Soda Bar in City Heights (3519 El Cajon Blvd.) so you can let loose on vocals with them backing you. Doors open at 7 p.m. and tickets start at $18.54.
Northern Soul at the Kensington Club: Billed as “San Diego’s first Northern Soul night,” this event brings a taste of the 1960s Britain scene that celebrated US soul music from across the Atlantic. The venerable Kensington bar (4079 Adams Ave.) hosts. Tickets cost $5, cash only. The show kicks off at 8 p.m, hosted by Soul Buzz USA.
Over The Line World Championships Week 1: This Mission Beach staple returns to Fiesta Island Park (1590 East Mission Bay Drive) for the first of two weekends of bat-and-ball and beers and fun, with men’s division games starting at 7:30 a.m., followed by women’s division action at 9:30 a.m. The tournament games are double-elimination and there’s no cost to come watch.
Salty Toast: This “coastal tasting experience” takes over Broadway Pier from 12-5 p.m., with a staggered entry policy. If you buy the “First Toast” ticket you get in at noon; “Final Toast” ticket-holders get in at 2 p.m. Once you’re in, though, you’re free to get samples from more than 55 breweries, distilleries and wineries. This event is strictly for adults 21 and older.
The Beat Farmers Hootnanny: In the late 1980s, a group of rockers sometimes fronted by Country Dick Montana became the closest thing this city had (for a minute) to rock stars after their song “Happy Boy” shambled onto the airwaves. Country Dick passed in 1995, but the surviving Farmers and special guests will gather at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach (143 S. Cedros Ave.) to mark 40 years since the release of their album “Van Go.”
Whiskey & Wings Festival: Pechanga Resort Casino (45000 Pechanga Pkwy. in Temecula) brings back its newest foodie event, with guests voting on the flavor of wing they like best. A $120 general admission ticket gets you into the event at the scheduled 1 p.m. start time. But the $160 VIP pass gets you in two hours early. Proceeds from the event will be donated to Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley.
Sunday, July 12
Encanto Block Party Music Festival: The San Diego Black Arts + Culture District is hosting this free event at Marie Widman Park (6715 Imperial Ave.) from noon to 7:30 p.m. featuring live performances by local artists Geminelle, Khalil Nash and Lenny “Fuzzy” Rankins.
