If someone tells you the weekend is a nothing burger — nothing to see or do,  just keep moving along — I’d say they’re out of their mind. March brings the first day of Spring (March 20) but with California’s mild, Mediterranean climate, Spring comes earlier than most states. By this first weekend of March you can feel it in the festivals and events Californians celebrate with gusto. Among them is San Diego’s Seaport Village Busker Festival (shown above.)
