Join us for a night of music, food and community as we celebrate the launch of Daylight San Diego, our community-focused, nonprofit newsroom. Over the past year, we’ve heard a common theme in our listening sessions: people are exhausted by the constant stream of negative headlines and disconnected from the stories that truly matter to them. That’s why we’re building something different. At a time when trust in media is low and corporate outlets are pulling back on local coverage, Daylight San Diego offers a refreshing alternative — an independent, community-powered newsroom focused on amplifying the voices of those too often left out of traditional narratives. From Gen Z and Millennial changemakers to immigrants, caregivers, communities of color and San Diegans navigating a tough economy, we’re here to tell the stories that you care about. This isn’t just a party — it’s an investment in a new era of local journalism. One rooted in transparency, inclusion and collaboration. More than anything, it's an opportunity for us to celebrate YOU — the community members and supporters who have entrusted us with your stories and believe in the power of storytelling to build a stronger, more connected San Diego. Tickets are available now — and if you can’t attend in person, you can still support our mission by purchasing a Support From Afar ticket, or reach out to co-founder Lauren J. Mapp to become an event sponsor at lauren@daylightsandiego.org. The evening will include music, great food and the chance to win curated prizes through our silent auction and opportunity drawing. All proceeds will go toward our $50,000 campaign to fund Daylight’s early reporting and operations. Save the date, bring a friend and help light the way forward. Together, we can tell the stories San Diegans need most.

We believe local news should be accessible, community-rooted and focused on solutions — not just problems. Through deep listening, on-the-ground reporting and partnerships with local organizations, we’re illuminating the issues that matter most: housing, education, climate, equity, arts and more. We've already begun publishing stories that center people’s lived experiences — and this launch party marks the start of an even brighter future. Daylight San Diego on Facebook / Instagram

If you're looking for a way to blend Southern California sunshine with the festive spirit of a classic German celebration, then the Encinitas Oktoberfest & Artisan Faire on Sunday, September 28 is where you need to be! The Encinitas Chamber of Commerce and Visit Encinitas have announced that their 29th annual Oktoberfest will take place from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. 15,000 guests are expected to attend this premier Oktoberfest in San Diego County. The ceremonial parade is slated for noon. This family-oriented and pet-friendly festival and artisan faire is free and open to the public. Live entertainment including Bavarian music and dance troupes keep the atmosphere buzzing with energy. Authentic German food, international refreshments, two beer gardens and a diverse selection of local artisan products make the event a great opportunity to eat, drink and be merry and shop for unique crafts, jewelry and other handmade goods while supporting local businesses. A special kids play zone with inflatable slides, games, crafts, face painting and a rock-climbing wall make sure there is plenty to keep the little ones entertained while the adults enjoy the festivities. And for the first time, there will be a pet costume contest where furry friends get to show off their best German-themed costumes and compete for fun prizes. As lively oompah music plays in the background, festival goers will be transported to Munich as steins of golden frothy beers flow freely and the aroma of sizzling sausages, crispy schnitzel and warm pretzels waft through the air.
