Come join us on Saturday, September 17th for the return of Beer by the Bay
Coronado’s only craft beer and wine festival!
After a couple years of Covid-related delays, we are back and ready to host a fun yacht rock themed day with lots of great local craft beer, wine and home brewed suds, along with some amazing live yacht rock favorites by the soft-rock band, High Tide Society. Join your friends and community at the beautiful Coronado Ferry Landing from 1:00 – 5:00 pm for unlimited beer and wine tastings, and try your hat at giant Jenga, cornhole, beer pong and other fun games in the sunshine.
Beer by the Bay (BBB) is hosted by Islander Ladies Club (ILC), a small group of local women dedicated to celebrating and bettering our community. ILC is proud to have donated over $90,000 from proceeds raised at BBB toward local causes, businesses and people since 2015. This year, the beneficiary of BBB is Safe Harbor Coronado because of the much-needed work they do to support those struggling in our community. Led by Executive Director Georgia Ferrell, Safe Harbor provides a refuge for our local youth and families, offering tools and resources to those who need mental health support and resources.
“Safe Harbor Coronado, previously known as Coronado SAFE, is so grateful to the Islander Ladies Club for designating us as the beneficiary of Beer by the Bay,” said Georgia. “This is such a fantastic community event, and the funds received will help Safe Harbor Coronado continue to offer critical services of low-cost counseling, youth outreach programs, parenting workshops and community education at a time when mental health issues in youth, here in Coronado and around the country, are at crisis level. All of our programs and services are uniquely crafted around the needs of Coronado’s youth and families, with designated resources to focus specifically on relevant community issues. February 2023 will mark our 25th anniversary in serving the Coronado community. You can check us out at SafeHarborCoronado.org.”
