Rooted: A Workshop in Image and Language is an interdisciplinary workshop that invites participants to explore several avenues of their creativity through poetry, watercolor painting, and expressive writing. Moving between poetry, visual art, and personal narrative, the workshop creates an accessible and supportive space for creative expression without requiring prior experience. The session begins with a short poem and a prompt, followed by a brief free write. Participants then transition into painting a watercolor, led by Artful Minds, using simple, guided techniques that emphasize process over perfection. After painting, we will read a second poem and a prompt, and once again, participants will free write. If time allows, we will close the workshop by having those who would like to share one of their two writings read to the group. Participants will leave the workshop with two flash pieces and a completed watercolor painting. Please bring a notebook and writing instrument; all painting tools and materials will be provided along with water and snacks. San Diego Writers, Ink on Facebook / Instagram

Featuring vintage Beechcraft T-34 military trainer aircraft, the historic flyover serves as a powerful tribute to the service, sacrifice, and spirit that have shaped the nation over the last 250 years. From patriotic moments in the sky to poolside cocktails, DJs, and rooftop views throughout the day, The Rooftop Bar offers a front-row seat to one of the coast’s most memorable Independence Day celebrations. Reserve your table at The Rooftop Bar for guaranteed seating and the best views in town. Seating is limited, and reservations are strongly encouraged for guaranteed or best-available placement during the event. Arrive early to see the Presentation of the Colors. Looking for another place to take in the celebration? Mission Pacific and The Seabird offer several additional viewing locations, including The Cafe, The Shore Room, and The Shelter club, each with its own perspective on the festivities.
