Welcome to the 54th
Coronado Promenade Concert Season

Welcome and thank you for joining us as we commemorate our beloved tradition where family and friends come together for fun, laughter and dancing!

2024 is all about our mission to Make Music Matter!  The Coronado Concert Band, 4 local Coronado bands and the Marines are all back.  There are five new bands including Friends of Buffett!  Returning is the 14 piece big band, Big Time Operator, swing the night away with Dream Boats and add some Motown funk with Detroit Underground.  Fan favorite ABBAFab returns and direct from Nashville, SixWire.  Look for dance lessons on June 2 and June 23 before each concert.

In our continuing collaboration with the Coronado School of Arts, (CoSA), we will continue to showcase student performances before 5 concerts. We are exceptionally proud to be able to present 2 scholarships to graduating seniors continuing their path in music.  The amount of the scholarships differ each year as they are based on the interest earned throughout the year.

We are grateful for the support from Mayor Richard Bailey, the City Council, City Manager Tina Friend, Interim Police Chief Richard Martinez, Fire Chief Jayson Summers, Public Services & Engineering Director Leon Firsht, Kelly Purvis and Kelli Maples. We rely on the continued in-kind donation the city provides through the availability of Public Services & Safety personnel needed to keep Spreckels Park clean, safe and orderly. We couldn’t do it without them!  A big shout out to Holland’s Bicycles and its staff who donate the bike locks raffled off every Sunday. So appreciate you!
