Sat, May 29 · 11:00 AM
Urban MO's Bar & Grill · Hillcrest • $25
San Diego's only Saturday drag brunch serves up celebrity impersonations, cosplay, and burlesque with a side of bottomless Mimosas. Expect audience participation, strong drinks, and zero chill.
Every day
Mandell Weiss Theatre · La Jolla
The Pulitzer and Tony-winning "Purpose" makes its West Coast premiere with a story that crackles: the Jasper family, Chicago political royalty, sees their empire shaken when a prodigal son returns with an uninvited guest and decades of secrets spill out. Expect spitfire dialogue, sharp humor, and history that hits close to home.
Sun, May 23 · 10:00 AM
Cannonball · Mission Beach • $$
San Diego's largest oceanfront rooftop serves sushi brunch with Pacific views, fire pits, and a California-cool vibe. Think sashimi platters, Japanese-twist French toast, and generous portions with surfers as your backdrop.
Sat, May 29 · 10:00 AM
Werewolf · Gaslamp Quarter • $$
Dig out your scrunchies and flannel: Werewolf's 90s brunch pairs dress-up with a gloriously unhinged menu, from Chocolate Potato Chip Pancakes to Tiramisu Martinis and Double Bloody Marys.
May 23 at 9pm
Jacobs Music Center · Core-Columbia
Finnish maestro Osmo Vänskä leads a sweeping Nordic program: Sibelius's mythic Pohjola's Daughter, Grieg's beloved Piano Concerto, and Nielsen's Fifth, complete with a snare drum battle.
May 28 at 12:30am +1
La Jolla Music Society · La Jolla
Detroit bassist Endea Owens brings her band The Cookout to the JAI's intimate cabaret stage. She's Juilliard-trained, Colbert-approved, and plays with the kind of warmth that makes a small room feel even smaller.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
