Over The Line (OTL) World Championship Over-the-Line (OTL) is a unique beach softball game that originated in San Diego. In this game, two teams of three players each compete to hit the ball over a line about 55 feet in front of the batter. Unlike traditional softball, OTL is played without bases, and the team that scores the most runs wins. The Old Mission Beach Athletic Club (OMBAC) hosts the annual World Championship Over-the-Line Tournament, which takes place on Fiesta Island in Mission Bay. The tournament is held over two weekends in July and attracts hundreds of thousands of players and spectators worldwide. It has been a San Diego tradition for 70 years and is known for its carefree, daytime, adults-only atmosphere. Teams dress up in costumes and bring tents, chairs, beer, and hilarious signs to the beach for the event. If you’re looking for a fun way to spend a summer day in San Diego, OTL is worth checking out!

The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch will open its gates to springtime enthusiasts beginning Saturday, March 1, 2025 for friends and families to wander amongst the colorful fifty-five acres of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus: a flower renowned for its large, double-petaled blooms that sit atop tall, straight stems. For the 2025 season, The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch is thrilled to welcome its very first traveling exhibit and will serve as the colorful backdrop for artist Alex Heveri’s, “Glass in Flight” which features over three dozen glass and steel sculptures of sparkling butterflies, dragonflies, bamboo, bees and insects that compliment the gardens and fields. The dazzling attraction stretches eight to ten weeks each year, from early March through early May, with a full slate of activities including live music performances, workshops and wellness classes. “This is going to be the most colorful season at The Flower Fields to date,” says Fred Clarke, General Manager of The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch. “We can’t wait to see the faces of our guests as they take in the sight of Alex Heveri’s life-like, giant sculptures set against the natural beauty of The Flower Fields.” “Glass in Flight” features giant insects handcrafted from glittering Dalle de Verre glass, set into bright, powder-coated steel frames that will be scattered around The Flower Fields like giant jewels, complimenting the 55 acres of ranunculus and colorful gardens. Heveri employs the use of light and color in her work and fittingly draws inspiration from nature, in particular, the fluid and ethereal movement of butterflies, fireflies and beetles in flight. “The kaleidoscope of color that the Flower Fields bring each year is a stunning contrast for the individual sculptures that make up my ‘Glass in Flight’ exhibit,” says Artist, Alex Heveri. “I’m thrilled to bring my largest exhibit to date to Carlsbad, with over 38 sculptures sprinkled throughout the fields.” In addition, the 2025 Activity Calendar is blooming with activities and programming that have become a tradition for returning guests to enjoy year after year. The outdoor music series is set to feature performances by Gainesville The Band, Mariachi Serenata, The Free Collective Band, Bill Magee, Bayou Brothers, Cool Rush and Michele Lundeen. The Flower Fields’ wellbeing offerings are expanding with the addition of Golden Hour Pilates and Family Yoga in addition to the return of Sunset Meditation and Sound Healing and Flower Flow Yoga classes.
