We want to hear from you! The County of San Diego Planning & Development Services (PDS) invites you to attend the first Focus Group Meeting regarding the Tiered Winery Rural Residential (RR) Expansion Project. This project is part of an ongoing update to the Tiered Winery Ordinance, following a 2024 Feasibility Analysis. Through this project, the County will be looking at how different types of wineries could operate in RR zones under clear and consistent criteria. The project will entail changes to zoning rules, new operating standards, and a review of potential environmental effects under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Meeting Discussion Topic: Draft Zoning Ordinance Changes At this meeting, we will focus on drafted Tiered Winery Ordinance changes being proposed. We are looking for participation from community members who are residents in RR zones, business associates, agritourism partners, and agricultural resource organizations. Additionally, we will go over both noise buffers/setbacks for amplified live music and outdoor seating capacity for Boutique Wineries. The goal of this meeting is to obtain feedback on draft changes to the Winery Ordinance that fosters a thriving agricultural economy while maintaining harmony with nearby residents and preserved open spaces. PDS will host this in-person hybrid meeting on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, at Noon.

Award-winning Ovation Theatre proudly presents "Hadestown" opening August 7th in San Marcos. This intriguing and beautiful folk opera delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience. Following two intertwining love stories — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of immortal King Hades and lady Persephone — "Hadestown" invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz, Anaïs Mitchell’s beguiling sung-through musical pits industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Content and Duration: Ovation Theatre's production of "Hadestown" is the Teen Edition adapted specifically for teen actors and family audiences. Viewers should note that this production features some mature, emotional themes (poverty, grief, and authoritarian control) as well as specific sensory effects, including strobe-like lighting, loud sound effects, and haze. The show has a run time of 2 hours and 30 minutes including one intermission and is generally recommended for audiences age 10 and up. Parking Information: Parking is free for all Ovation Theatre audiences with no permit required. We recommend parking in Lots 1 & 2, at the main entrance of Palomar College. For people with accessibility needs, there are handicap parking spaces close to the theatre as well as a roundabout where people can be dropped off just outside the lobby.

Rising singer/songwriter Solya is about to hit the road for a North American headline tour in support of her critically acclaimed debut album, "Queen of Texas." The 25-city tour will be coming through San Diego for a show at SOMA - sidestage on Sept. 16, 2026. Recorded to tape in Lockhart, TX with producer Danny Reisch (Khruangbin, Local Natives), "Queen of Texas" expands the 20-year-old’s bedroom-pop roots into a fully realized world—think goth Lana Del Rey with a bit of country twang. Blending warm Americana, dreamy indie rock, and retro pop harmonies, the LP pairs psychedelic storytelling with intimate reflections on heartbreak, identity, and growing up queer in a small town. Listen to the album's lead single "Tell Me It's Over," which received praise from Rolling Stone, NME, Ones To Watch: Watch her recent stripped-back performance for Medium Sized Backyard: Praise for Queen of Texas "The West Texas songwriter stands to be next in line among the grand tradition of brilliant female songwriters from the Lone Star State." Flood Magazine "You gotta hear Solya, the indie Queen of Texas." Uproxx "The West Texas singer-songwriter has carved out something distinctly hers: romantic, desolate, and quietly self-defined."
