The 103rd annual Coronado Flower Show is set to take place, April 12-13, 2025. Organized by the Coronado Floral Association (CFA), this is the largest tented flower show in the U.S. and Coronado’s longest running tradition, which includes an array of events leading up to and throughout the two-day festival. As part of “Beyond the Tent,” an effort to engage and expand the event throughout the island, and the grand prequel to the show, the beloved Coronado Flower Show kicks off with its local Homefront Judging Competition, March 28-30, where Coronado residents will prep and primp their gardens, home fronts, and store fronts in hopes of winning the elusive blue ribbons. More than 100 volunteer judges will examine and award competitive ribbons to Coronado home fronts, apartment buildings, condominium complexes, churches, businesses, and school gardens. Another prelude to the event this year, the festival will host a Family Movie Night on the eve of the event weekend, Friday, April 11 in Spreckels Park, from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. The main event, the Coronado Flower Show, is divided into five divisions – Horticulture, Design, Special Exhibits, Youth and Botanical Arts. The show has been a spring tradition since 1922 and is one of the largest tented flower shows in the U.S. Located at Spreckels Park, this two-day event includes landscape displays, a variety of floral competitions, educational lectures and demonstrations, live bandstand entertainment, food, a beer & wine garden with locally crafted beers, and shopping. Another special feature of the weekend is the Saturday night party, called the 1922 Club. The event includes food, drinks, and dancing all under the iconic tents of the Coronado Flower Show. The Association will also host its Annual Meeting “Feast & Fareway” on Sunday, March 9 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and will honor the traditions and people who built and grew the organization into the celebrated community staple that it is today.
