On Saturday, April 23, four-legged friends and their owners can join City Cruises to celebrate “San Diego Pet Day on the Bay.” City Cruises is welcoming pups aboard four different one-hour themed “Pirates and Mermaids” sightseeing cruises. The narrated cruises include special doggie treats from Kahoots, a local pet store chain (as well as drinks and bites for owners), the opportunity to see over 50 San Diego landmarks, and the best part - dogs ride free on this cruise, as well as throughout the entire summer! While on board, guests will have the opportunity to talk to professional adoption counselors from Helen Woodward Animal Center who will treat guests to some puppy time with dogs that are available for adoption. A portion of the proceeds from the event will also be donated to the Helen Woodward Animal Center and guests are encouraged to contribute a gently used blanket or towel to donate. All sizes and breeds of dogs are welcome. A few simple rules make Pet Day on the Bay fun for everyone: One dog per adult is welcome. The event is not open to dogs under six months of age. All dogs MUST be on a leash at all times. No retractable leashes are allowed. Owners must clean up after their dogs. No dogs in heat are allowed.

Reynoso @jreynoso25 Jorge Sanchez Derrick Herrera As described by the curator Karla Garcia: The Kumeyaay people have lived on this land since time immemorial. Our story is vast, complex, resilient, and never-ending. We are artists, singers, dancers, filmmakers, organizers, advocates, educators, and keepers of our culture. Our stories have been passed down for more than 60 generations on this land, much has been lost but so much has remained. Beyond what we have kept for over 12,000 years, today we create new stories, grow as a community and instill who we are in the next generation of indigenous youth. Our tribe pre-dates the United States, Mexico, and the U.S./ Mexico border. Yet we are divided by these nations and European-American-made walls. Families have been divided, a tribe cut in half, and our way of life was forever changed. Yet we are still here, on both sides of the border, each person, each family, band, community, and ejido, holds a different piece of our story. Today we will show you some of the pieces that we have in hopes that you may see us and that you may listen.
