Tijuana slates three downtown festivals this weekend, July 17-19
Alison DaRosa
Tijuana is planning a triple header this weekend: Staging three downtown events, all part of the city's month-long celebration of its 120th
anniversary.
The city's 5th annual International Craft Beer Festival, July 17-19, at the Caliente Casino and Racetrack, will feature more than 70 beers from 15
breweries from around the world. Festivities will include live music, beer and food tastings from some of the cities finest restaurants. Admission
costs $5.
The city's 2nd annual "Exxxpo Erotica," July 17-19, is exactly what its name implies. Festivities include sexy fashion shows and sizzling dance
performances (for him and her). The event is at Mezzanine Events Hall, near the intersection of Via Rapida and Boulevard Insurgentes. Admission, which
costs $13, is limited to those 18 and older.
On more a more family friendly note, the 6th annual Street Opera Festival is slated from noon until midnight on Saturday along Calle Quinta and
Aquiles Serdan streets in Colonia Libertad. More than 150 singers, actors and dancers are scheduled to perform.
Don't forget that U.S. border authorities now require passports or the new passport cards for all those re-entering the United States from Mexico.

And tomorrow is the seafood festival at the beach. This happens every summer. They close down the road parallel to the beach and set up food and beer
stands. Always a good turn out.
"Festival del Pescado y del Marisco"
Uno de los eventos gastronomicos que reúne a las familias tijuanenses, se llevará a cabo en el Malecón de Playas de Tijuana a partir de las 12:00 hrs.
