Get Ready for a Weekend of Family-Friendly Movies and Gourmet Treats

Your Patch guide to weekend happiness.

Weather reports call for a cloudy weekend here in San Diego. Take advantage of the cool weather we’ll have and get out! Besides, there are only two more weekends left until the unofficial end of summer, so milk them for all you can.

This weekend, Aug. 19-21, Rancho Bernardo has some great activities, fundraisers and entertainment available. There is a Bingo fundraiser to attend, two family movies in the park and a craft fair that’s back twice a month.

Head east to Ramona for some wine and paella, with a whole lot of laughs from romantic comedy French Kiss. Travel to the Del Mar Fairgrounds for some food-truck fun and a concert by Devo, where you’ll sing some ironic lyrics after the horse races.
