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
SD Foodee will have beverages, veggie rolls, wontons and curry.
Returning this year:
