Throughout day-long Independence Day celebrations, Spreckels Park will once more be a returning spot for appetizing dishes, refreshing beverages and other flavorful cuisine.

The 2025 Coronado Fourth of July board has prepared a lineup of food vendors to be stationed in the park, on the side of 7th Street and between Orange and C Avenues, from 8 a.m. through 8 p.m., or while supplies last.

With options like Mediterranean food, Mexican-style hot dogs and sweet treats, residents and visitors alike can be sure to enjoy any of this year’s offerings.

“Many of the vendors are returning, and are also welcoming a few new participants to broaden the variety offered,” said Jennifer Stein, CFOJ secretary.

New offerings this year:

Giammarino Italian Specialties

Giammarino Italian Specialties is offering a variety of Italian dishes like fried rice and mozzarella sticks.

Gyros Eatery

Gyros Eatery will have gyros, falafel and greek salad.

SD Foodee

Returning this year:
