Grab your sense of humor and sunscreen—let’s talk the best in-the-know, behind-the-scenes, and totally trending things you can do in San Diego this week and beyond. Forget the usual impulse to take a selfie with a sea lion (though by all means, do it)—here’s where you’ll tap into the real local flavor.

First, forget just clinking beers at any old bar and head to the OB Oktoberfest at Ocean Beach Pier Parking Lot, running today—October 11th. It’s the city’s wildest Oktoberfest, featuring two-for-one beers, ridiculous beachside contests, live music, and a DJ stage so energetic you might spontaneously start practicing your chicken dance mid-wave. Best part? Proceeds help the community, and lederhosen is not just welcomed but encouraged, so let your inner Bavarian beach bum out.

Want to taste art and culture with the sun on your face? Sashay over to the La Jolla Art and Wine Festival, October 11th and 12th. It’s an open-air love letter to local art, gourmet eats, and as much craft beer as you safely dare, happening right in charming La Jolla Village. Insider tip: check out the quirky installations and pop-up performances that will have your Instagram followers questioning if you’re moonlighting as an art critic.

If your inner foodie is rumbling, today’s Little Italy Mercato will make your taste buds think you’ve touristed through Italy without leaving California. Locals load up on just-harvested produce, one-of-a-kind crafts, and the freshest pastries this side of Rome—go before noon to beat the crowds and score an espresso that could wake a hibernating bear.

When the sun sets—it’s go time! Downtown’s Nova SD is hosting OMNOM, a house music event tonight at 454 Sixth Ave. The energy is pure nightlife gold, like if a disco ball collided with a spaceship, all powered by Insomniac Records’ trademark beats.

Craving more live music? The House of Blues is rocking out tonight with Cartel and Layto, plus an array of upcoming concerts landing every weekend in October. This is ground zero for those who love a pit, a pint, and the possibility of discovering your new favorite band in crimson-lit, sticker-laden halls.

For quieter but equally creative vibes, the Songwriter Sanctuary series is a local gem featuring San Diego’s top singer-songwriters. On October 24th, head to Normal Heights United Church, bring takeout from neighboring spots, and get serenaded by soulful stories and live performances while sharing a pew with your new favorite people.

If you want mind-expanding science with your stroll, sneak over to Balboa Park’s San Diego Natural History Museum for Critter Chats today at 1:30pm—where you’ll learn insider animal trivia sure to impress on your next trivia night.

And never underestimate the magic of Mission Bay—kayak at sunrise, eFoil like you’re auditioning for a futuristic summer Olympics, or join the Mission Bayfest next weekend, October 17-19, for a music festival loaded with rock, reggae, and a beach-lounging, cocktail-sipping resort party atmosphere.
