Welcome to the 55th
Coronado Promenade Concert Season
Welcome and thank you for joining us as we begin another summer of our beloved tradition where family and friends come together for fun, laughter, dancing and lifelong memories!!
The Coronado Concert Band, 4 local Coronado bands and the Navy are all back. Four new bands performing here include American Flyboys, a wonderful swing band, The Pine Mountain Logs – don’t let the name fool you- they’re a super fun dance band, some yacht rock from High Tide Society and a Fleetwood Mac tribute band called Mirage. Fan favorite direct from Nashville, SixWire is back with an incredible guest star!!!! And finally, look for those swing dance lessons on June 29 before the American Flyboys concert!
We are exceptionally proud to be able to present scholarships to graduating seniors continuing their path in music. We will present the scholarships at the June 15th concert on Father’s Day. The amount of the scholarships differ each year as they are based on the interest earned throughout the year of our savings account.
We are grateful for the support from Mayor John Duncan, the City Council, City Manager Tina Friend, Police Chief Paul Connelly, Fire Chief Jayson Summers, Public Services & Engineering Director Leon Firsht and Senior Management Analyst 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 all of you!
