With several signature summer events, including a spectacular star-spangled Fourth of July celebration, entertaining free outdoor concerts and the nation’s original surf dog competition, sun-kissed Coronado is an ideal summer travel getaway.
With its palm-lined streets, 25 miles of sparkling beaches - including Coronado Beach, the #1 Beach in America - and average summertime temperature of 75 degrees, sun-kissed Coronado is an ideal summer travel getaway, located a bridge away from downtown San Diego. In addition to enjoying a plethora of outdoor activities like surfing, standup paddleboarding and golfing, visitors to this popular island paradise can choose from several signature summer events, including a spectacular star-spangled Fourth of July celebration, entertaining free outdoor concerts and the nation's original surf dog competition.
Following are some fun-filled summer events that showcase the small-town charm of the "Crown City."
RED, WHITE & BLUE
On July 4, locals and visitors alike converge for a full day of festivities, including a 5K run/walk and 15K run beginning at 7 a.m. at Tidelands Park, a rough-water swim at 9 a.m. along Central Beach and a patriotic parade at 10 a.m. down Orange Avenue, complete with military bands, floats and tens of thousands of spectators lining the route with red, white and blue proudly displayed. The day continues with "Art-in-the-Park" and an afternoon concert at 4 p.m. in Spreckels Park and culminates with a spectacular fireworks display at 9 p.m. over Glorietta Bay.
TIME TRAVEL
The museum's current exhibition, "Kingston Trio: A World of Music," profiles this popular musical group of the 1950s-1960s and explores the important bridge they developed between American traditional and contemporary music and their ties to the communities of Coronado and San Diego. The exhibit is on display now through July 15; admission is free.
In celebration of the Hotel del Coronado's 125th anniversary, the museum is also presenting a historic exhibit that pays tribute to the resort's contribution to the development of Coronado, including the Del's founders Elisha Babcock and H.L. Story who designed the picture-perfect island community and donated parkland, planted trees and were responsible for building the city's first school and library. The exhibit is on display June through September; admission is free.
