Spooky season is bringing plenty of opportunities to connect across San Diego County.

Book lovers can settle in for a Halloween-themed reading party at Polished Pigeon, while families can explore Adams Avenue's Halloween Haunt with trick-or-treating and costume contests. Those looking to get outdoors can help protect local waterways during a cleanup at Lamar County Park or join Q***r Crafting SD for an afternoon of creativity at Morley Field.

To kick off San Diego Climate Week, San Diegans came together to call attention to the Tijuana River sewage crisis.

A symbolic paddle out in Coronado put the region’s polluted waters front and center before advocates, experts and community leaders gathered for a Water Summit to discuss solutions, cross-border efforts and the work still ahead.

🎨 We started Daylight because our communities deserve to see their experiences reflected, and that includes when people express their emotions through art.

🎸At community events and listening sessions, San Diegans keep asking us for more arts and culture coverage. Your membership helps us answer that call with reporting that puts local artists and the communities they serve in the spotlight.

🩰 In recent months, our stories have looked at the impacts of city budget cuts on arts organizations and how ICA San Diego’s financial troubles affected its artists. We’ve also produced features on Hip Hop artist World B. Freestyle, who shook up the local rap scene, and HYANGLE, an art gallery dedicated to mental health.

🎭 And every week, our Weekend Energy events listing tells San Diegans where to go for concerts, crafternoons, art gallery openings and plays.

🍁 If you believe San Diego deserves more art coverage, can you support it by becoming a member before our fall campaign ends tomorrow?

☀️Thank you for helping Daylight grow, one story and one member at a time.
