The Coronado Historical Association invites you and your family to join us for the final installment of the 2024 Wine & Lecture Series: Holiday Traditions at the Hotel del Coronado. Bring the whole family to experience the magic of the Hotel del Coronado’s holiday history with CHA’s Vice President, Robin Siara. For 135 years, the Hotel Del has brought holiday cheer to locals and visitors alike with enchanting events. From the world’s first electrically lit outdoor Christmas tree and charming Victorian teas to today’s Skating by the Sea, these traditions have always dazzled and delighted. Come celebrate with us as we journey back in time to enjoy the holiday heritage of our island’s historic treasure.

Festive refreshments along with wine for adults will be served.

Maritime Museum of San Diego is proud to welcome back Tim Flannery Saturday, December 21st 7:30-10:00 p.m. The beloved former San Diego Padres player, MLB broadcaster, and show announcer turned musician and philanthropist has performed his annual holiday concert aboard the Star of India for over 20 years.

This concert is for 21+ guests only.

His ace band, the Lunatic Fringe, brings his songs roaring to life in various musical genres like bluegrass, country, and rock. Flan has three World Series Championship rings as a third-base coach with the San Francisco Giants, and he has released fifteen albums of original music over the years.
