This week, @sdfilmfest will be highlighting one of San Diego’s oldest neighborhoods, Little Italy and neighboring Balboa Park!

What started as the center of the world’s tuna industry is now a spirited community of creative studios, quaint retail stores, and no shortage of small businesses which expands its reach to the borders of its neighborhood. Take a short trip up the hill and you'll drive into San Diego’s Balboa Park. Filled with museums, beautiful scenery and iconic buildings dating back to the 1935/36 Second World's Fair.
We have your schedule for a day filled with activities & great eats!

Our weekend itinerary spotlights 2 neighborhoods,

Our weekend itinerary spotlights 2 neighborhoods, Liberty Station & Ocean Beach who both have a colorful history in San Diego! Rain or shine, your sure to have a great day.

Formerly the training grounds of Navy Recruits, Liberty Station is now home to an assortment of food stalls, shops, recreation and outdoor activities, with a little glimpse into its past. To get the full experience, check out their self-guided walking tour offered on their website -- https://buff.ly/3Bc9zoy.

Once recognized as the capital of the counter-culture in the 70s, Ocean Beach is the perfect place to spend the afternoon with family, friends and your dog! The lively environment & bustling Newport Ave still has remnants of its hippie-days. After a full day of activities, enjoy the sunset overlooking the iconic Ocean Beach Pier!

Like what you’re seeing? Stay tuned for the next installment of our weekend itinerary seriesl.
