Holiday Events: December 2020

This year, be sure to visit Coronado’s CANDY CANE LANE where residents share a bit of holiday joy by going all out decorating their homes for passersby. This holiday tradition started in 1962 by Country Club Lane residents north of 6th street and it’s still going strong today!
