Coronado Island has so many fun things going on year round, but the summers here are an especially wonderful time to be visiting. From music to food to competitions and events, we Islanders really celebrate our summers! Here at La Avenida Inn, we love to keep our guests up to date about any events coming up, and we hope that you will stay with us if you are visiting the Island!
This August, the Island as well as the surrounding areas around San Diego are hosting several different activities that are guaranteed to get you outside and moving, but also are in support of good causes. On August 9th, the city of San Diego is hosting its 6th annual Lung Cancer “Free to Breathe” 5K Walk/Run. Hosted at North Embarcadero Marina Park, the event is a fun way to raise money and bring awareness to lung cancer, with the goal of doubling the lung cancer survival rate by year 2022. Also happening this month is the 8th Annual Bike the Bay. Bike the Bay is an event held all over the city of San Diego, encompassing 25 miles of riding routes. Held on August 23, the event gives cyclists, both new and experienced, the chance to ride through San Diego, Imperial Beach, Chula Vista, National City, Coronado, and even over the Coronado Bridge! The event is a fundraiser for the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition as well as all cyclists everywhere! On August 29, Coronado will be hosting Relay for Life. Held in Glorietta Bay Park, this 24 hour event is hosted by The American Cancer Society, the largest organization in the world focused on fundraising for cancer research and fighting to ultimately beat cancer! Be sure to be there! You don’t want to miss this amazing event!
If you are looking for something a little more laid back, the Coronado Summer Concert Series at Spreckels Park is still going on throughout the month of August. Each Sunday evening, the park hosts a concert free to the public from starting between 4pm and 6pm. The musicians performing this month will be Louie Cruz Beltran (August 2), United States Marine Band (August 9), The Heroes (August 9), the COMPANY MEN (August 16), The High Street Band (August 23), and Tribute to Journey: Another Journey (August 30).
In addition to these awesome events there is plenty to do in Coronado, especially during the summer season. There are so many fantastic shops to visit, restaurants to eat at, and the Coronado Beach is always an amazing place to relax the day away. Come visit us in August and we promise you will have a blast!
