This Weekend: Loads of Good Times with Festival of Funk, CRSSD Festival and CodeAcross
It’s almost the weekend, and while you sit and procrastinate this Friday afternoon at work by clicking refresh over and over again on this site, we’ve got some fantastic events for you to attend. Hope to see you at one or all of them!
- Festival of Funk – Tomorrow, Saturday. Get tickets here by midnight tonight as no tickets will be sold tomorrow. Ride your bike or Decobike it down, we will valet your bike for you.
You are invited to experience The Funk at its highest level. The Festival of Funk is a celebration of sours, saisons, and all things funky, carefully curated from some of the most fearlessly innovative brewers in the world. We’ve put together a jaw-droppingly rad group of breweries and locked down one of San Diego’s most legendary venues for a party of epic proportions.
Attendees will be baptized in the deep and diverse waters of funk, from the delightfully tropical to the intensely sour and everything in between, experiencing the truly amazing variety of flavors these exotic yeast strains and bacteria are capable of kicking out. The Festival of Funk will also a prime opportunity to pick the brains of some of the most talented and adventurous brewers in the world, so come prepared with your beer-nerdiest questions.
We’ll have plenty of food options on site as well as water stations, an outrageously funky DJ mix from Peso, and a few surprises. We’ll also have tons of ultra-sexy merchandise on hand, including a painfully fresh, limited edition Festival of Funk tee.
All proceeds from Festival of Funk will be benefiting the incredibly kick-ass BikeSD organization, a non-profit working to make San Diego a better place to live, work, and ride, and the Cleveland National Forest Foundation.
- CRSSD Festival – tomorrow and Sunday
Tickets have sold out, but if you’re stressing out about parking – don’t. Ride your bike down and we will valet it for free so you can enjoy yourself in a gorgeous downtown park. If you ride Decobike, note that the nearest stations are #61 located at Cedar St. & Kettner Blvd located east of the Water Front Park. and station 208 (on B St. Pier) located south of the park. Because of the festival, stations 52 and 68 will not be available. If you’re struggling to figure out the best way to get downtown by bike, check out the Ride the City app, or google maps for the best routes.
Neither Amtrak nor the Coaster will be running tomorrow, so if you live too far away, do consider either carpooling or taking the bus down. Each MTS bus can accommodate up to two bicycles.
- #CodeAcross – This Sunday.
Bike riding software developers: rejoice. You are needed to help jumpstart a data driven approach to making San Diego streets safer for biking. 11am – 2pm |Origin Code Academy | 101 W. Broadway, Suite 1100, San Diego, CA
Open San Diego (OSD) has been working on a bike app that will send data about where biking infrastructure is needed directly to San Diego’s transportation planners. This Sunday, as part of CodeAcross, a global event for people who want to make their City work better, OSD wants your input on how to make sure the app leads to better experiences for San Diego’s cyclists.
Just like a data driven approach drove the adoption of Vision Zero, the WeBikeSD app can provide data to fuel decisions that make our streets safer. Learn more and let us know you’re coming by following this link: RSVP.
Lunch will be provided and you’ll meet new people who care about the things that you do. Don’t think you’re a CodeAcross kind of person? You’re probably wrong, but use this handy flowchart tool to figure it out for yourself.
