You Should Read @ Mission Bay: A Reading Social + Snacks Picnic

Date: Thursday, June 26

Time: 5:30 – 7 pm

Location: Mission Bay Park, Playa II (2195 East Mission Bay Drive)

If you’ve been needing a sign that you should read… this is it. Whether you're deep into three nonfiction books, haven’t cracked a spine in months, or just want an excuse to sit outside and do something cozy with others, welcome. You’ve found your people.

📚 Why you should come:

Book clubs can feel like homework. This is your no-pressure alternative: a low-key, community-powered reading hangout. Bring a book, any book, and join us for a sunset hour of quiet reading, soft socializing, and shared snacks.

🧺 What to expect:

• 30 mins of mingling + snack sharing
• 1 hour(ish) of silent reading (stay longer if you’d like!)
• Curated background playlist to set the vibe
• New friends who also love books
• An excuse to actually finish that book you keep meaning to start

📍 Location:

We’ll meet near Playa II on the grass patch. Look for our “YOU SHOULD READ” A-frame sign.

Pin + parking: 2195 East Mission Bay Drive, San Diego, CA 92109Bring a blanket, chair, cushion, or anything else to get cozy.

Ticket options:

FREE if you bring a snack to share (no alcohol, please!)

$5 if you’d like to just show up and snack – we bring the treats to share!
