Hard to believe August is here. This summer is just flying by, so enjoy every moment this weekend.
On Friday, check out Iration as part of the Del Mar Concert Series at the racetrack. The band plays after the last race, and the show is free with track admission.

Plus, Son Volt headlines at the Belly Up.
At the Casbah on Saturday afternoon, Daydream Nation presents the Vinyl Junkies Record Swap. This meet-up of record lovers and sellers is from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is free with a canned-food donation. Elsewhere, Tribal Theory will play at the Supergirl Pro at the Oceanside Pier. The band takes the stage around 4 p.m. Get details about this free event here. Other shows to check out include Sublime with Rome, 311, Cypress Hill, Pennywise and G. Love at the Sleep Train Amphitheatre, plus a Mower reunion show at House of Blues. Get your dance on downtown with Psychemagik, Adam Salter and Blancnoire at El Dorado.
