OUT AND ABOUT – August 2023

 

BY ANNETTE HIGBY

You know the summer is waning when I start listing events for Labor Day weekend. There are still summer concerts listed for August, including Fallbrook Summer Nights, The Grange in Rainbow, and at SeaWorld and One Paseo in San Diego which were not in last month’s edition. Summergrass in Vista is this month. There is a sunflower festival in Oceanside. Liberty Station will have an art walk. Daring Greatly is back in town. The Lawn behind Harland Brewing in San Diego has a couple free concerts. The Del Mar Wine & Food Festival is a new event in September. And more!

🌞Live in the sunshine. Swim in the sea. Drink in the wild air. Ralph Waldo Emerson 19th century American essayist

💚The summer night is like a perfection of thought. Wallace Stevens, 20th century American poet
