Sponsored by the Friends of the Coronado Library and Hotel Del Coronado, the Library’s 2024 Summer Festival will run June-August with concerts, lectures, demonstrations and more. Our first concert is not only a kick off for our Summer Festival, but is also in honor of African American Music Appreciation Month.

On Saturday, June 1st at 1pm, singer Durell Anthony will perform a mix of classic and contemporary Pop/R&B featuring songs by Stevie Wonder, John Legend, and more.

Doors will open 15 minutes prior to the performance.
