15th Annual SoCalXJ.com Picnic
Fiesta Island / Mission Bay in the City of San Diego
Mark your calendars! Come one, come all. It's time for the SoCalXJ Fiesta Island BBQ Picnic Potluck Swapmeet Show'n'shine Hootenanny Cavalcade!
This is the 15th year in a row we drive our XJs to the beach during the summer time for some good food, and water play (Jet ski's, boats, kayaks, sandcastles, fire pits, etc). Bring some food for yourself, and some to share (if you like). We can use some tables if you have them.
Feel free to drive your daily drivers, RVs, tow rigs, TJs, ZJs, Hondas, Dodges, whatever, if that's all you have, driving/owning an XJ is not required, it's just encouraged.
DATE: Saturday, August 19th
TIME: Morning until whenever, casual event, just show up any time! BE AWARE. The island closes at 10.pm, there is a gate. Typically, most people arrive mid-day, but people will generally be there sunrise to just before sunset. Official beach hours are 6am-10pm. Island access does close, with NO CAMPING.

on the flat stretch along the west side of the Island (once on Fiesta Island, take the "shortcut across the island" left at the fork in the road, and when you can see the bay again, you should be seeing an assortment of XJs and such ahead of you on the sand.
From I-5, take the Sea World Drive exit and head southwest, then make a right onto East Mission Bay Drive, then left to Fiesta Island. There is parking throughout the island.
