San Diego listeners, if you’re wondering what to do this week, let’s dive into some of the most fun and interesting events happening around the city, from today through the weekend.
According to Daylight San Diego, one of the standout happenings this week is a Pride Prom–style celebration, part of a series of Pride-themed events running June 4 through June 10. Hosted at a local venue in the urban core, this Pride Prom invites adults to relive – or reinvent – their prom night with inclusive vibes, colorful outfits, and a full night of dancing. Expect DJ sets featuring pop, house, and throwback tracks, plus photo booths and plenty of glittery décor. It’s designed as a safe, joyful space for the LGBTQ+ community and allies, and tickets are typically available online in advance through the venue’s site, with a limited amount at the door.
Daylight San Diego also highlights an “open vinyl tables” night this week, perfect for music lovers who want to get hands-on. Local record shops and small venues are hosting sessions where listeners can bring their own records, hop on the decks, and share favorite tracks with the crowd. Newcomers are welcome; staff and seasoned DJs usually hang around to give quick pointers, so it’s a low-pressure way to try mixing for the first time. These events often happen in the early evening in neighborhoods like North Park or South Park, with craft beer and food truck options nearby.
Another quirky pick from Daylight San Diego’s guide is a “make your own carabiner” or outdoor-gear–inspired craft workshop happening this week. Think of it as a creative meetup where listeners can assemble custom keychains, mini carabiners, and accessory clips using colorful cord, metal hardware, and simple tools. These workshops tend to pop up at maker spaces or community art centers and are a fun way to meet new people while making something you can clip onto your backpack for your next hike in Mission Trails or Torrey Pines.
For listeners seeking something a bit more reflective this weekend, the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego is launching the Camino de California Eucharistic Pilgrimage. The diocesan events calendar notes that Day 1 begins Saturday and Day 2 on Sunday, with processions and prayer stops at parishes around the region. This is a slower, spiritually focused way to experience San Diego’s neighborhoods, often featuring outdoor segments, music, and community gatherings at each stop.
If you’re near local colleges, San Diego Mesa College is in the middle of its Classicon Week, according to a weekly update from the college president. This campus celebration features workshops, panels, and community-building events aimed at students and neighbors. While some sessions are geared toward enrolled students, others are open to the public, offering talks on careers, creative arts, and community engagement. It’s a good excuse to stroll the campus, catch an event, and then grab a bite nearby.
And for anyone wanting to level up their professional life before the weekend, Goodwill Industries of San Diego County lists daytime workshops like Resume Builder and Find a Job on its June events calendar. These free sessions help listeners polish resumes, practice interview skills, and connect with local employment resources. They’re typically held at Goodwill community employment centers around the county, making them a practical daytime activity before evening fun.
No matter what you choose, from dancing at Pride Prom and spinning vinyl to crafting gear, walking in pilgrimage, or sharpening your resume, San Diego has something for every mood this week.
