Due to popular demand, Summer Walk 2 will talk place in Bird Rock on Aug. 29 from 5 to 7:30 pm. Join Bird Rock residents and local businesses once again for an Italian style passeggiata, or evening neighborhood stroll, down La Jolla Boulevard on the 5500, 5600 & 5700 blocks in Bird Rock. Enjoy an evening of art, music and cuisine as you peruse the boulevard’s eclectic collection of galleries, restaurants and shops brimming with creativity. Galleries showcase their latest collections at GALLERIe, Bird Rock Art Nest of La Jolla, Bird Rock Arts, Bird Rock Coffee Roasters, Moonglow and Prodigy School of the Arts. Live musicians from La Jolla High School, Riffs Acoustic Music and grassroots local musicians will perform along the boulevard, and Beaumont’s will have live music and happy hour late into the night. Bird Rock restaurants, including Beaumont’s, Lupi, Station Sushi, Bella Roma, Bahia Don Bravo, La Basil Thai and more, will feature Summer Walk specials. Bird Rock Coffee Roasters & Prodigy School of the Arts will both feature an open mic for the courageous and talented among us.
