The East Village San Diego Padres Block Party, orginally set for Opening Weekend, has been rescheduled for July 13. It will take place from 10 a.m.-4 p.m, on J Street between Bub’s at the Beach and Basic Pizza (that’s 7th & 10th Aveneues) in front of Petco Park.
The game opponent that day is the Atlanta Braves with first pich at 4:15 p.m.
The free-open-to-the-public event is an all-out Padres celebration. It has beer and spirits booths (pro’s tip: pick one away from one of the entrance gates because they often have a minimal line, if one at all), food vendors, games and live music from both DJs and bands.
This year’s music features Latin bands and 90s throwbacks and classics. The California Love Stage is hosted by East Village’s own DJ Artisti and also has DJ Boogie Blancoa and more. At the main US Bank stage, it’s Israel Maldonado Music, DJ Kid Wonder and Mariachi Dinastia. And yes, you can take your beer/cocktails with you to the stages, as well as anywhere within the fenced-off area. You will be required to show an i.d., to get a 21-and-over wristband.
