Coronado – The artistic banner program that adorns Orange Avenue in Coronado has received renewed funding, ensuring its continuation through July 2026. This initiative, which commenced in 2016, aims to maintain one of the community’s cherished traditions while showcasing local culture and enhancing the atmosphere of the bustling thoroughfare.
The announcement was made jointly by Discover Coronado and the City of Coronado, underlining their commitment to promoting community spirit and engagement through this vibrant display. The banner program not only serves decorative purposes but also acts as a living gallery, reflecting the rich culture and values of Coronado.
The banners play a crucial role in highlighting local nonprofit organizations and promoting signature community events, thereby contributing to the overall vibrancy of the area. The decorative artwork enhances the walkable atmosphere of Orange Avenue, inviting both residents and visitors to experience the local charm and community-driven initiatives.
Looking ahead, the banner program plans to feature five different series throughout the next year, beautifying Orange Avenue from First Street to Coronado City Hall. Each series will undergo a meticulous review process, ensuring that every design aligns with the community’s values and aesthetic standards. All proposed designs will be assessed by the Coronado Cultural Arts Commission and will require final approval from the Coronado City Council.
Discover Coronado operates as the official destination marketing organization for the area, promoting local attractions and activities to tourists and residents alike. Importantly, it is funded through an assessment collected from overnight guests at four local resorts, which means the organization’s projects, including the banner program, do not receive direct financing from the city budget. This innovative funding model ensures that community-focused initiatives can flourish while minimizing the financial burden on local taxpayers.
This continuation of the banner program affirms Coronado’s dedication to celebrating its heritage and community achievements while fostering a welcoming environment for everyone. As the banners continue to evolve, they signify a commitment to the arts and a vibrant community life that encourages involvement from all residents.
The program’s inception in 2016 significantly transformed the visual landscape of Orange Avenue, providing a platform for local artists and organizations to express themselves and gain recognition. The collaboration between Discover Coronado and the city exemplifies a community-driven approach to public art, blending creativity with tourism and civic pride.
By extending the Orange Avenue banner program through 2026, the Coronado community reaffirms its support for local culture, creativity, and the importance of public spaces in enhancing everyday life. Visitors and residents alike can look forward to the renewed series of displays that reflect both the identity and the spirit of Coronado.
