SAN DIEGO — If the San Diego Tourism Board needs an enticing new offseason marketing campaign, video footage of the closing day of the 2022 Wonderfront Music & Arts Festival — where the early Sunday afternoon temperature hit 75 degrees under clear blue skies — could be just the ticket.
But leave out the fog that rolled in as Kings of Leon concluded its electrifying headlining set Saturday night, when the temperature dipped into the low 50s, nearly 10 degrees below the average here for this time of year.
That fog, figuratively speaking, also cast an unanticipated pall over Wonderfront, a young festival with enormous future potential and some major growing pains in the here and now.
