Kicking It in Chula Vista: A Day of Soccer, Style, and Song at the Chrome Ball Tour!

Get ready, Chula Vista! The Chrome Ball Tour is making its grand appearance in downtown Chula Vista on Saturday, May 4th, and you won’t want to miss it! Hosted by San Diego FC, this tour stop promises a full day of fun from 12 PM to 10 PM, and the best part is it’s all free to attend!

What’s the Chrome Ball Tour, you ask?

It’s an 18-city series designed to connect communities in San Diego County through our shared love for soccer, art, and local culture. Chula Vista is set to be the fifth and most prominent stop yet. Before arriving here, the tour touched down in Escondido, Oceanside, Poway, and Santee. It’s truly a celebration of everything that makes San Diego unique.

Chrome Ball Tour in Chula Vista
We are totally in love with this artwork by local Chula Vista artist Josue Baltezar for the event. I hope they have this on a T-shirt.

There’s something for everyone. Kids can dive into activities like face painting and bouncing around in inflatables, while adults can unwind in the beer garden. Also, don’t forget to check out the local artwork and grab some exclusive gear from the Eighteen Threads Merch Trailer, featuring designs from Chula Vista artists Josue Baltezar, Chikle, and Paola ‘Panca’ Villaseñor.

This will be a super cool event, and it’s only the beginning. With summer right around the corner, we will be getting more and more fun events in Chula Vista.
