Once a year, MainStreet hosts a Garden Party that raises funds to support revitalization and beautification projects. These include Coronado’s signature Orange Avenue Gardens, an award-winning trademark of our downtown. These 16 gardens represent MainStreet’s on-going commitment to beautify and enhance the color and vibrancy in the heart of town. The creation, installation, maintenance and replanting of this “sustainable” art is the responsibility of Coronado MainStreet, a non-profit organization dedicated to the health of our commercial areas. In addition, MainStreet remains a steadfast advocate for preserving Coronado’s charm, authenticity and vitality.
This year the Party will be held in the one-of-a-kind home and gardens of 711 A Avenue on September 12 from 5-8 in the evening. The Hansen Family has graciously offered to host this popular summertime treat in their beautiful and historic family estate. The residence is one of the largest properties in Coronado. Originally built in 1898, it was extensively remodeled in the 20’s, becoming the grand structure we treasure to this day. The 3-story, half-timbered Tudor design features exquisite workmanship that is a highlight of Coronado’s unique and varied architectural heritage.
The friendly gathering will feature live music, a no-host bar, wine tasting, brew from Coronado Brewing Company and local Chefs serving their specialties. There will be a Silent Auction featuring donations from Coronado businesses. Tours of select first floor rooms will be included.
The Hotel del Coronado is again a major sponsor of the Garden Party along with local restaurants, realtors, banks and merchants. The City-wide participation and support demonstrates how important our downtown is to the community.
The Coronado MainStreet Ltd. Board of Directors invites the community to spend an entertaining summer evening in Coronado, visit with new and old friends and support the MainStreet Gardens year-round.
Tickets are $95 before Sept 5 and $110 after or at the gate. For more information, to purchase tickets or make a donation, visit www.CoronadoMainStreet.com or call 619-437-0254
