Concerts, Coffee and Crafts

Your Patch guide to weekend happiness.

The weekend’s almost in reach—do you have your days off planned out? Don’t worry, we have a list of the weekend’s best bets right here for you (and we don’t really expect you to have plans—it’s the weekend! Let loose!)

This weekend, Aug. 12-14, stay in Ramona for plenty of fun and feel-good activities. Take your daughter to the library to be part of something special, see a concert or sip some wine. The whole family can enjoy crafts on Friday.

If you’re feeling up to a little road trip, Poway has a family campout, there’s a workshop to avoid home foreclosure nearby or you can go see Jimmy Eat World in concert at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

Whatever you do this weekend, have fun. And don't forget to try to catch the Perseid meteor shower, which will peak Saturday night, but might be hard to find because of the bright moon.
