Good morning San Diego, I’m Morgan Riley, bringing you the word on the streets of San Diego. Here’s what’s making headlines and shaping our community this week.
Independence Day is just a day away and the city is coming alive with celebration. According to 10News, fireworks shows and parades will fill the skies and streets across the county. The Scripps Mesa Fireworks light up north San Diego tonight at 9 p.m., while tomorrow, classic favorites like the Coronado Independence Day Parade kick off at 10 a.m. along Orange Avenue, and in Scripps Ranch, families gather for their own neighborhood parade and festivities. Webb Park in Rancho Bernardo hosts the "Spirit of the Fourth," running all day and capping off with fireworks. It’s a tradition that spans generations and brings out thousands to celebrate what makes our region unique—our coastal beauty, tight-knit neighborhoods, and the diversity of people who call this place home.
Travelers can expect one of the busiest holiday weeks in recent memory, with San Diego International Airport bracing for a major rush. Airport officials recommend arriving extra early, as passenger numbers are projected to hit record highs through the weekend. It’s a reminder of how much San Diego has grown as both a destination and a hometown.
In a city known for its people, I want to shine a light on someone making a difference right in our backyard. At the Tuna Harbor Dockside Market, every Saturday morning, local fisherman Tommy Gomes sells the day’s fresh catch, building bridges between San Diegans and our maritime heritage. Tommy’s friendly passion for sustainable seafood and sharing stories of old San Diego keep a vital part of our culture alive at the waterfront. If you stop by, ask him about his earliest days on the docks—he’ll probably have you laughing and hungry for more.
Looking to the days ahead, the July calendar is packed with summer spirit. This weekend, the Rady Shell hosts Earth, Wind & Fire for a night of funk, and the beloved Best of San Diego Party at Liberty Station gathers over a hundred of our city’s best local eats on July 18. Farmers’ markets and evening concerts in Balboa Park offer plenty of ways to get outdoors and meet your neighbors. And for our LGBTQ community and allies, San Diego Pride Festival returns to Balboa Park from July 16 through 20.
Today’s forecast calls for mild coastal mornings, warming up to sunny afternoons in the high 70s—classic San Diego summer weather. Perfect for catching a parade, a picnic, or a sunset walk along the bay.
San Diego’s story is always evolving, shaped by tradition, innovation, and the people who make this city vibrant. As we gather for July Fourth and beyond, let’s remember the connections—old and new—that keep our community strong.
