San Diego Sizzles with Beachside Traditions, Live Music, and Vibrant Celebrations this Summer Weekend

San Diego listeners, let’s dive right into what’s happening across the city this Saturday, July 12th, and through the rest of this weekend. Whether you’re looking for a beachside tradition, live music, classic films, or vibrant community celebrations, America's Finest City is buzzing with summer energy.

Today kicks off the legendary 72nd annual Over the Line World Championship at Fiesta Island Park in Mission Bay. This unique, sand-slugging bat-and-ball sport is a San Diego original, with men’s and women’s teams bringing playful competition and over-the-top team names to the beach scene through next weekend. It’s free for spectators—so bring your sunscreen, friends, and sense of humor, and cheer on the teams as they battle it out along the bay, according to San Diego Magazine and the San Diego Reader.

If you’re craving local flavor, head over to the USD Wine Classic this afternoon at the University of San Diego’s picturesque Linda Vista campus. Taste wines from over twenty wineries, enjoy live music, and indulge in gourmet bites, all while supporting scholarships for local students. San Diego Magazine highlights this as a top fundraiser and one of the best ways to sip through a summer Saturday.

For music lovers, Point Loma Park hosts its beloved Point Loma Summer Concerts series starting this Friday and running into August. Bring a blanket and some snacks; these evening concerts are a family-friendly tradition, filling the park with great tunes and neighborhood spirit. The Marine Band San Diego’s Sound Strike group is also performing live tonight, promising an energetic evening for those who love big-band sound, according to San Diego.org.

Classic film fans, get ready for a double feature Sunday at the Balboa Theatre in the Gaslamp Quarter. First up is The Goonies at 1pm—perfect for a family adventure—followed by the stylish vampire cult classic, The Lost Boys, at 6pm. San DiegoVille and San Diego Magazine both recommend arriving early for this Retro Rewind event, as these films are quintessential ‘80s fun.

Don’t miss the vibrant Hillcrest Farmers Market on Sunday morning, a perfect place to browse fresh produce, grab breakfast, and soak in the neighborhood’s festive summer mood. For art fans, Thumbprint Gallery’s Cats & Castles exhibition is an imaginative, Studio Ghibli-inspired pop-up you can catch this week.

Looking ahead, the city is warming up for San Diego Pride, with the festival and parade taking over Hillcrest and Balboa Park starting next week. This is the largest single-day civic event in the region and draws over 250,000 people. And later in the month, mark your calendars for outdoor concerts, including Beck with the San Diego Symphony Orchestra at The Rady Shell and the Makers Arcade Summer Fair at Waterfront Park.
