It's been a really fun Pride weekend in San Diego, and tonight, the party continues on the west side of Balboa Park with legendary artist Melissa Etheridge and a slew of DJs and entertainment to celebrate love and our common humanity. Today is also a great day to hit Bar Pink, celebrate their 12 year anniversary and score some free tacos while you're at it. By sundown, show your pink side with the Havnauts at the Casbah, enjoy the ukelele stylings of musician Jackie Mendoza at Soda Bar or catch another ukulele phenom, Jake Shimabukuro, at Humphreys.
