SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA — To keep your weekend fun and lively, Patch has rounded up some entertaining events going on throughout the San Diego region — from the southern border, to East County, through beach towns, to the uppermost points of North County and communities in between.

Some are free. Some have a fee.

Whether you opt for an activity close to home or a mini day trip, see what's slated this weekend from Saturday, April 22 to Sunday, April 23.

Among top events are Dutch King's Day (Koningsdag) Family Festival in Rancho Santa Fe, one of the last weekends for "Beyond King Tut: Immersive Experience" at Del Mar fairgrounds, and a slew of Earth Day fests regionwide.
