SUMMARY:San Diego's annual Asian American Dance Festival
DESCRIPTION:Last year’s inaugural festival and 5-month residency program were optimistic gambles that proved to be a huge success. With the help of over 30 community volunteers\, we presented 34 choreographic works\, served 191 artists from Southern California and around the globe\, and reached over 500 local audience members here in San Diego. Building on this amazing momentum\, AADF2026: Becoming Asian American is aiming even higher and hoping to increase the number of artists and audiences served. \nIn order to accomplish our lofty goals for 2026\, we need everyone’s support—local dance artists\, students\, teachers\, studio owners\, volunteers\, sponsors\, business owners—from hands on help to fundraising and more. Team AADF is a small group of passionate volunteers\, but we can’t do this alone. We’re counting on community to join us again and help get AADF2026 on stage!

SUMMARY:BUDDY GUY 90
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE CONCERT …with Special Guest CHRISTONE “KINGFISH” INGRAM! Buddy Guy brings his 90th birthday celebration to The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park! At 90 years old\, he stands as one of the most influential guitarists in American music. As a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and a pioneer of Chicago’s explosive West Side sound\, Buddy Guy remains a guiding force for generations of rock and blues legends. \nThe nine-time Grammy winner has also earned a Lifetime Achievement Grammy\, 38 Blues Music Awards\, the Billboard Century Award\, the Presidential National Medal of Arts\, and the Kennedy Center Honor. Rolling Stone ranks him #23 on its list of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time\,” underscoring his unmatched impact on modern music. \nBorn in 1936 to a sharecropper’s family in rural Louisiana\, Guy arrived in Chicago in 1957 and went on to reshape the sound of the electric guitar through groundbreaking work with Chess Records and influential recordings of his own. His recent achievements include a 2019 Grammy win for The Blues Is Alive and Well and the acclaimed PBS American Masters documentary Buddy Guy: The Blues Chase the Blues Away. \nToday\, as he celebrates 90 years\, Buddy Guy remains an American music icon – one of the last living architects of the electric blues tradition. Please note: The San Diego Symphony Orchestra does not appear on this concert.

SUMMARY:San Diego's annual Asian American Dance Festival
DESCRIPTION:Last year’s inaugural festival and 5-month residency program were optimistic gambles that proved to be a huge success. With the help of over 30 community volunteers\, we presented 34 choreographic works\, served 191 artists from Southern California and around the globe\, and reached over 500 local audience members here in San Diego. Building on this amazing momentum\, AADF2026: Becoming Asian American is aiming even higher and hoping to increase the number of artists and audiences served. \nIn order to accomplish our lofty goals for 2026\, we need everyone’s support—local dance artists\, students\, teachers\, studio owners\, volunteers\, sponsors\, business owners—from hands on help to fundraising and more. Team AADF is a small group of passionate volunteers\, but we can’t do this alone. We’re counting on community to join us again and help get AADF2026 on stage!
