San Diego listeners, this weekend is packed with events and festive fun, so let’s jump right into what’s happening throughout the city. If you’re in the mood for music, head downtown today for We Love R & B at Waterfront Park. The event runs from noon to 7 pm with some of San Diego’s hottest DJs spinning all your favorite R&B tunes in a lush outdoor setting. There will be food, drinks, and plenty of sunshine, so grab your crew and enjoy a dance-heavy celebration. Waterfront Park is right along Pacific Highway, and this event is strictly 21 and up.

Halloween weekend brings some serious party energy, especially with the famous San Diego Zombie Crawl tonight. Spanning five nights, with key events tonight and continuing through Halloween and Dia de los Muertos, you can experience $400 worth of adult treats, free entries to 25 bars, 10 welcome shots, killer dining deals, and hotel perks. The crawl kicks off at American Junkie on Fifth Avenue in the Gaslamp Quarter—you’ll be bar hopping, dancing in the streets, and joining hundreds dressed as zombies and monsters.

Families looking for daytime excitement have loads of options. Halloween Aglow at Birch Aquarium is tonight from 6 to 8:30 pm. This interactive evening includes oceanic adventures, eerie illuminations, live animal encounters, and the perfect setting to show off your costumes among glowing exhibits and sweet treats.
