Bike the Bay Rolls into its 19th year on Sunday, August 23

A fundraiser for the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition, the ride highlights the region’s commitment to active transportation, community connection, and scenic exploration. Bike the Bay: Your Way, with three ride length options:
25-mile route

The traditional 25-mile route winds through five vibrant cities and along San Diego’s stunning waterfront;
The 50-mile route makes the same loop twice, providing avid riders two opportunities to enjoy the views and vibes;
The 5-mile route turns off immediately after the bridge and includes a return ferry ticket.

5-Miler, aka: Just the Bridge
With three ways to bike the bay, it’s perfect for casual riders, families, and experienced cyclists alike. Class 1 & 2 e-bikes are welcome!
At the post-ride festival at Embarcadero Marina Park South, riders can unwind and enjoy complimentary live music by award-winning local artist Elizabeth Bowersox, play cornhole, join a guided yoga routine, or relax on picnic blankets.
There will be plenty of food and refreshments available, including coffee from Café Suavecito and Café Moto, street tacos from Taquizas Jose, and beer from Coronado Brewing Company in the bayside beer garden. Plus, this year we are offering staffed, secure bike parking. All participants go home with a finisher medal that doubles as a coaster!

Best of the Best Book Club: "The Story of a Heart" by Rachel Clarke
2026-08-26 11:00 - 12:00 | Coronado Public Library, 640 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
The Coronado Public Library’s Best of the Best Book Club meets regularly on the fourth Wednesday of each month to discuss books that have won major awards.
For our August meeting, we will read and discuss the winner of the 2025 Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction winner The Story of a Heart by Rachel Clarke, an unforgettable and inspiring true story of how one family’s grief transformed into a lifesaving gift.

About The Story of a Heart
The first of our organs to form and the last to die, the heart is both a simple pump and the symbol of what makes us human; as long as it continues to beat, there is hope. In The Story of a Heart, Dr. Rachel Clarke blends the history of medical innovations behind transplant surgery with the story of two children — one of whom desperately needs a new heart.
One summer day, nine-year-old Keira Ball was in a terrible car accident and suffered catastrophic brain injuries. As the rest of her body began to shut down, her heart continued to beat. In an act of extraordinary generosity, Keira’s parents and siblings immediately agreed that she would have wanted to be an organ donor. Meanwhile nine-year-old Max Johnson had been in a hospital for nearly a year, valiantly fighting the virus that was causing his young heart to fail. When Max’s parents received the call they had been hoping for, they knew it came at a terrible cost to another family — in what Clarke calls “the brutal arithmetic of transplant surgery.”
The act of Keira’s heart resuming its rhythm inside Max’s body was a medical miracle. But this was only part of the story. While waiting on the transplant list, Max had become the hopeful face of a campaign to change the UK’s laws around organ donation. Following his successful surgery, Keira’s mother saw the little boy beaming on the front page of the newspaper and knew it was the same boy whose parents had recently sent her an anonymous letter overflowing with gratitude for her daughter’s heart. The two mothers began to exchange messages and eventually decided to meet.
In this “profoundly moving…[and] beautiful, humane book” (Rob Delaney) Clarke relates the urgent journey of Keira’s heart and explores the history of the remarkable surgery that made it possible, stretching back over a century and involving the knowledge and dedication of surgeons, nurses and technicians, immunologists and paramedics. A powerful tale of two families linked by one heart, The Story of a Heart is a testament to compassion for the dying, the many ways we honor our loved ones, and the tenacity of love.

Community Salute
2026-08-27 17:00 - 19:00 | Coronado Historical Association, 1100 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Celebrate community, history, art, and patriotism with the Coronado Historical Association and the Coronado Community Foundation.
Join us for a festive evening reception honoring America250 and celebrating CHA’s Flag Mural Project. Enjoy inspiring patriotic music performed by Westwind Brass while mingling with friends and neighbors over complimentary drinks and light bites.
CHA’s Flag Mural Project was funded through the Coronado Community Foundation’s Fall 2025 Arts & Culture Grant Program, which invested in projects that celebrate creativity, inspire learning, and strengthen Coronado’s cultural landscape. Composed of over 200 hand-painted tiles created by Coronado residents, the mural represents a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and organizations, and celebrates the many individuals and groups that contribute to community life. Participants included many local organizations as well as individual residents and community leaders, including representatives of local government, the military, civic organizations, public safety, education, and faith-based communities. Together the tiles form a visual representation of the values of America as well as the relationships and shared experiences that make Coronado unique. The mural also reflects a central theme of both the exhibit and the broader America250 commemoration: history is not only something we inherit but something we continue to create.
Come raise a glass as we salute our nation’s past and celebrate our shared community. All are welcome and admission is free.
