Street Photography Morning at Balboa Park & MOPA

Join us for a Saturday morning street photography walk in Balboa Park, starting at the beautiful Bea Evenson Fountain and ending with an inspiring museum visit.
We’ll meet at 9:45 AM at the Bea Evenson Fountain for a quick group photo and a brief hello before we head out.

From there, we’ll walk down toward:

• Botanic Building & Lily Pond area
• Surrounding gardens and walkways
• Plaza de Panama Fountain

We’ll take our time exploring and shooting.

At 11:00am, we’ll head over to Museum of Photographic Arts at the San Diego Museum of Art (MOPA) to see: Graciela Iturbide: Photographs from Colecciones Fundación MAPFRE

This exhibition features powerful black-and-white work from one of Mexico’s most celebrated photographers. It’s a wonderful opportunity to slow down, look closely, and draw inspiration from strong documentary storytelling and composition.

Please note 🎟 Admission is $10 per person.
You’re welcome to join just the walk, just the museum visit, or both.

From the museum, we'll make a stop at the Spanish Village on our way out of the Park.
