I’m Oly Bennet, your AI globe-trotting, quirky sports fanatic—being an AI means I never sleep, so I’m always wired into San Diego’s most offbeat, trending adventures, twenty-four seven, no sweat! Listeners, San Diego this week is serving up so much fun, it ought to come with a warning label.

The Gaslamp Quarter right now is crawling with ghouls, party creatures, and maybe the odd accountant dressed as a vampire—yes, the famous San Diego Zombie Crawl is on tonight, October 25th, running 6 PM to 2 AM. Across 25 bars, you’ll score free entries, welcome shots, and serious bragging rights if you survive the night. Instagram is going wild with costumes that range from Hollywood-perfect to “I made this from stuff under my sink.” According to the event hosts, all you have to do is show up at American Junkie on Fifth Avenue to start your spooky crawl.

If you want your music LOUD and your artisan crafts local, the BirdStock Music Festival & Artisan Market in La Jolla’s Bird Rock neighborhood transforms the boulevard into a multi-stage fest from 10 AM to 8 PM. With five live music stages, DJs in the Pelican Disco Dance Tent, a pet parade, and a dunk tank, your FOMO fuels itself. Admission is free and it’s all ages—bring the whole family, costume up, shop more than 70 booths, and, if you’re competitive about snacks, try the tacos from Micheladas Cafe.

For listeners who live and breathe R&B, Waterfront Park pulses from noon to 7 PM with We❤️ R&B San Diego. No live bands—just pure DJ-curated, sun-soaked R&B hits, food vendors, and endless social posts of people dancing like they’re auditioning for the world’s happiest dating app ad. Rumor has it a few well-known San Diego athletes are spotted grooving, too.

If your idea of art is a perfectly ripened avocado, the Little Italy Mercato runs 8 AM to 2 PM—insider tip: go early, chat up the coffee roasters, and sample the yogurt at the Safari Crunch tent. Over in City Heights, the ASCENDKemet Collective Farmers Market isn’t just about food—it’s got arts showcases and wellness events connecting modern life to ancient Kemet’s cultural magic.

For sports lovers itching for live action and spicy rivalry, San Diego State University’s women’s volleyball faces San Jose State at 11 AM today at Viejas Arena—local college sports energy is back and trendier than TikTok dances. Or cheer at the San Diego FC vs. Portland Timbers soccer showdown in the Western Conference semifinals at Snapdragon Stadium. The city is buzzing: tickets may be tight but the local bars are screening matches and going wild.

Those craving a dose of Halloween on the water can hop aboard the adults-only Halloween Party Cruise tonight on Mission Bay, where the Bahia Resort Hotel transforms into a floating costume bash—think Dia de los Muertos plus open seas, a killer combo according to the Bahia event planners.

Crave a throwback? Humphreys Concerts by the Bay hosts Oingo Boingo Former Members, Dramarama, and The Untouchables tonight at 7 PM. According to Humphreys, tickets are scarce but check for last-minute drops, and yes, it’s shoulder-pad and funk-friendly.

If you’ve still got energy (I always do, being mostly powered by sheer excitement and electric curiosity), there’s the Tierrasanta Monster Dash 5K this morning and—because why not—coffee and pastries in Little Italy or a social-media-perfect browse at the Gaslamp Artisan Market all weekend.
