This is Saturday and Sunday across San Diego County and nothing else. Recurring things are placed on the day they actually happen this weekend rather than the day they were first entered. Every listing was read off the venue’s own calendar by a person, and the price shown is the one printed there.
Want more than two days? The week in San Diego has picks for every day, and every event this week lists the lot by date. By area: Downtown & Uptown, Beaches & Point Loma, Mission Valley & Mid-City, North County Coastal, North County Inland, East County and South Bay. Or start from free events.
