This Weekend: Get your music on

In between the hustle and bustle of family gatherings, holiday parties, and gift giving, make some room if you can for a few of the great arts, culture, and community happenings taking place in and around southeastern San Diego this weekend. This week’s recommendations are for a musical produced by a local theater company and a youth concert.

And don’t forget — the farmers’ market just off of Euclid and Guymon takes place every Friday! More information can be found at the People’s Produce Project‘s website.
