A One-Day Only Celebration for Coronado Neighbors
September 21, 2018 conveniently lands on a Friday and occurs during the season locals affectionately refer to as “Second Summer”, when the tourists leave and the Island is returned to the locals to enjoy. What better way to kick-off the last Summer weekend before Autumn arrives? Let’s make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime event and celebrate Coronado with our neighbors!
There will be beach activities, live music, food, drink and special Coronado-centric events for all to enjoy.
The natural beauty of Coronado is the perfect place for neighbors to get together to enjoy games, activities, music, food and more! Participate as an individual and make new friends or create a team made of our your neighbors. Either way, we want you to participate.
