Hispanas En San Diego Bazar Market – Sunday, August 4th
Kick off August with a splash of color at the Hispanas En San Diego Bazar Market! This open-air bazaar at the Chula Vista Center is a feast for the senses. From 11 AM to 5 PM, you’ll find local artisans and vendors showcasing unique creations that capture the spirit of our diverse community. With entertainment for kids, toe-tapping music, and an array of crafts, it’s the perfect way to spend a Sunday. Trust me, after last year’s holiday bazaar, I can’t wait to see what they have in store for us this time!
National Night Out with CVPD – Tuesday, August 6th
Mark your calendars for an evening of community bonding at the Chula Vista Police Department’s National Night Out. From 4 PM to 8 PM, this free event is your chance to meet the everyday heroes keeping our streets safe. There will be booths where you can learn more about the different departments. They will also do exhibitions during the event in front of the police station. Last year’s event was a hit, bringing together folks of all ages to chat with our local officers. And here’s a tasty tip: Tacos El Gordo will be serving up free tacos, so come early to grab a bite!
CV Art Fest – Saturday, August 10th
I was thrilled to hear the city of Chula Vista brought this event back. Last year was a great time, but not many people knew about it. This year I expect it to be even bigger. From 12 PM to 6 PM at City Hall, immerse yourself in the creative pulse of the South Bay. It celebrates Chula Vista’s artistic soul with more music, art, and local vendors than last year. I’ll be there all day, so come say hi, and let’s appreciate local talent together!
Chula Vista Lemon Festival – Saturday, August 17th
The Lemon Festival is the one event we all love that really celebrates Chula Vista and summer: the 27th Annual Lemon Festival! From 11 AM to 6 PM, Third Avenue will be bursting with citrusy fun. As a nod to our city’s history as the “Lemon Capital of the World,” you’ll find lemon-themed treats, live music, and even a photo op with Tarty the Lemon. Who doesn’t love the Lemon Festival? As we get closer, I will post more about this, but mark this on your calendar now and ensure you come out.
Taste of Eastlake – Friday, August 23rd
Foodies, rejoice! The Taste of Eastlake is taking us “Around the City” this year. Held at the Chula Vista Elite Training Center, this 21+ event serves cuisine from our best local eateries. It’s not just about the food, though—your ticket supports technology and STEAM programs in our public schools. With live entertainment and auctions, it’s a night of indulgence for a great cause. Tickets are on sale and can be purchased at their website here.
CVFD Pickleball Tournament 2024 – Saturday, August 24th
We’re closing out August with a bang – or should I say a serve? The Chula Vista Fire Department Heritage Foundation is hosting its first-ever Pickleball Tournament right on Third Avenue. Whether you’re a pro or just pickleball-curious, this is your chance to play in the streets and support our local businesses. Sign up on their website to participate or cheer on the players!
