Coronado Island, a place that has long served as home away from home to Hollywood’s finest since the golden era of film, continues to uphold and celebrate its chic charm and rich cinematic history even today. The Coronado Island Film Festival (CIFF) is proud to be a part of the Island’s movie magic legacy and is back for its 7th year with a five day event running November 9-13, 2022.
The festival, returning as a fully in-person event, has curated a slate of immersive programming including studio and independent films, engaging panels, parties, and of course the premiere event, the Leonard Maltin Industry Tribute Awards Gala, hosted in the Hotel del Coronado’s iconic Crown Room, all of which thread together a wonderful celebration of the art and science of cinematic storytelling.

Walking Tour of Historic Coronado
2022-04-07 13:00 - 14:30, 2022-03-31 11:00 - 12:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Coronado Historical Association, 1100 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
One of the best ways to experience the history of Coronado is to go on a historic walking tour. This is the secret that Coronado locals know: it takes time to sense the past. When you slow down, you have a chance to see, hear, and remember this place that Hollywood stars, princes, and presidents have enjoyed. Everywhere you look in this charming beach town, you find history. And, that history is easiest to see on foot – when you have a chance to linger in front of a tiny, shingled house, perhaps, and meet the resident as he comes out into the yard to water his roses and tells you about the multiple generations who have lived in the home. Or, when you seemingly stumble upon the magical house from which the Wizard of Oz was born.
We’re proud to host you on Coronado’s premier walking tour. Every tour purchase supports the Coronado Historical Association and its mission. Thank you for your support.
Every Sunday at 11 am & Thursday at 1 pm

Household Hazardous Waste Collection
2022-05-14 09:00 - 14:00, 2022-05-28 09:00 - 14:00 | Public Services Facility, 101 B Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection is held the second and fourth Saturday of each month, from 9 am to 2 pm at the Public Services Facility, located at 101 B Avenue, and is available to Coronado residents only. No business or contractor-generated waste is permitted.
Household products containing toxic chemicals become hazardous waste when you decide to dispose of them. Never throw hazardous products in the trash, as the toxic chemicals may harm the environment and sanitation workers, and start fires in trash trucks. Never pour hazardous products into a sink or storm drain. It is dangerous and they will end up in our environment polluting the air, water and soil. The City of Coronado’s HHW program is available so that all residents in the community can safely dispose of their toxic, hazardous waste.
