Fleet Week offers extended celebration this weekend!

At 4:30 p.m. Sept. 23, Coronado Village will host the Fleet Week Car Parade, a run-up to the Coronado Speed Festival the following weekend. Classic cars of all makes will parade from North Island Naval Air Station down Orange Avenue to Rotary Plaza where they'll be displayed for the public all evening.

The volume picks up at the Coronado Speed Festival, happening 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 25 and 26, an event known as the Race at the Base.
