🎨 Benito’s Big Weekend: Artwalk Rosarito Doubles Down on Culture

Cancel your beach nap. You’ve got plans. Artwalk Rosarito returns May 24–25 at CEART Playas de Rosarito, and this year it’s not just another art fair—it’s a full-on cultural upgrade.

Originally a modest setup of scattered tents, the event has now evolved into a polished pavilion experience. That leap is thanks to the bold vision of Benito del Águila, a local artist turned cultural architect. His mission? Elevate Rosarito’s creative scene and give artists the platform they deserve.

So yes—Benito, we see you. Turning creative chaos into a structured, inspiring space takes more than talent. It takes guts and community spirit, and you’ve brought both.

Now, for those coming from the U.S., this is your Memorial Day weekend excuse to skip the BBQ and head south. Instead of traffic jams and outlet sales, you’ll get art, music, and color—just a quick ride from the border.

Art That Crosses Borders (Without a Visa)

At the heart of the event is the featured exhibition “The Line That Connects: Cross-Border Connections.” It brings together over 50 artists who explore what it means to live between worlds. Sculpture, painting, photography, and textiles all blend into a collective narrative—no passport required, just curiosity.

You’ll walk through works that speak not just to identity, but also to resilience, memory, and connection.

In addition to the visual spectacle, visitors can enjoy live performances, poetry readings, and an enigmatic gastronomic area. And yes, we said enigmatic. Will it be tacos? A churro? Something that comes wrapped in banana leaves or just bacon?

No spoilers here—but odds are your cravings will thank you.

To top it off, the music lineup promises a mix of soloists, orchestras, and folk ballet. Picture yourself listening to a string quartet while sipping agua fresca, surrounded by Baja’s boldest creativity. Doesn’t sound too bad, right?

The Real Star? Baja.

Big names like Francisco Javier Macías Rosales will definitely draw attention, but the real power of Artwalk lies in its range. It’s not about one headline artist. It’s about the 90+ creators showing up with paint, metal, textiles, and pure Baja soul.

Why go to L.A. for a gallery when Baja’s beating heart is creating masterpieces right here?

From 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., the Caracol Science Museum will host a free event full of tasty food, hands-on activities, and cool facts. The star of the show? The bluefin tuna. The event also celebrates the reopening of the exhibit “Aleta Azul: El Atún del Pacífico.”

#Aleta Azul (Bluefin)

One highlight is the ronqueo demonstration — the traditional art of filleting bluefin tuna. An expert from Baja Aqua Farms, along with chef Miguel Bahena, will show the process live. It’s a mix of tradition, precision, and culinary skill you rarely get to see.

Everything Ready for the SCORE San Felipe 250 in Baja California

San Felipe is gearing up to host one of the most anticipated events on the international off-road racing calendar—the 38th edition of the SCORE San Felipe 250, running from April 3 to April 6. With strong support from the State Government led by Governor Marina del Pilar, this event is set to bring both adrenaline and a boost to local tourism.

So far, 234 teams have registered from all over the globe, including Argentina, New Zealand, Canada, Australia, the United States, Japan, and Mexico. Registrations remain open until April 3, with numbers expected to keep climbing.

State Tourism Secretary Miguel Aguíñiga Rodríguez put it best: “The SCORE San Felipe 250 is more than just a race—it’s a tourism engine that puts Baja California on the world stage. It celebrates the union of sport, adventure, and our unique hospitality as a destination.”

Participants have already begun familiarizing themselves with the official 250-mile route through extreme terrain—a challenging stretch that promises plenty of technical hurdles in the San Felipe desert.

Event Schedule:

• Thursday, April 3: Trophy Trucks take part in an exclusive qualification round.

• Friday, April 4: Official mechanical inspections (Tech & Contingency) kick off, with a meet-up for fans, media, and racers.

• Saturday, April 5: 6:00 a.m. – Motorcycles and Quads hit the track; 10:00 a.m. – Four-wheel vehicles officially take off.

• Sunday, April 6: The event wraps up with an award ceremony celebrating the off-road spirit.

Get Ready for the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito This March 30th

Rosarito’s “Playa El Bebé” will host the first round of Baja California’s state fishing competition this coming Sunday, March 30th, and organizers are expecting a strong turnout. Last year, the event drew nearly 150 anglers from across the state and Southern California.

The competition is part of the official calendar of SEPESCA BC, supported by Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda’s administration, and organized by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association. This year’s tournament is being hosted by TJ Fishing Club, represented by Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno.

This event is the first of three selective beach fishing tournaments that will qualify participants for the State Championship. The tournament will kick off at 5:00 AM, with registration for anglers. The official start of fishing will be at 7:00 AM, and the weigh-in will close at 1:00 PM, allowing participants who are in line by that time to still compete.

At the end of the day, prizes will be awarded in categories such as children’s, women’s, mojarra, and other species. There will also be raffles and food made with local fish.

For those interested in participating, details on registration, costs, rules, and prizes can be found by calling 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173, or by emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com. More information is also available on their website.

In support of the event, Victor Hugo Méndez, head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, presented financial support to the organizers to help cover event expenses.

If you want to compete, you can sign up the day of the event or pre-register at Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria.

Looking ahead, the next two rounds of the state competition will take place on April 27th at Sunset Beach in Ensenada, hosted by Club Pura Vida, and on July 20th at Playa El Pabellón in San Quintín, organized by Pioleros del Valle de San Quintín.

Top anglers from these events will have the chance to represent Baja California in the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship, held September 19-20 at Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco.
