Highlights from Fiesta del Sol

We hope you had as much fun as we did at Fiesta del Sol! Last weekend, the community gathered to enjoy the good weather, food, art, and live music - and had the chance to show off their sustainability efforts. More than 150 people rode their bikes and used the bike valet. People recycled and composted. At our City booth, participants made sustainability pledges to improve their waste sorting practices by recycling and composting, reduce their water usage, and care for the environment by using eco-friendly modes of transportation. Thanks for keeping Solana Beach clean and green!

The San Diego County Fair Opens Next Week

Nothing says summer like the San Diego County Fair! The 2026 season opens Wednesday, June 10th and runs through Sunday, July 5th (closed Mondays and Tuesdays). This is a community advisory to remind everyone that traffic and noise tend to increase during this time. The City would like to remind everyone to plan accordingly during busy Fair events and weekends, especially when traveling on Via De La Valle.

#YEStoBeaches Campaign

Each of our City's beaches are essential to the City's economy, community, and habitats. Our beaches protect our communities from storms, power our local economies and ecosystems, and bring people together. And most of all, beaches belong to all of us. That's why Solana Beach is joining American Coastal Coalition and the #YEStoBeaches campaign. Coastal communities across the country are joining to demonstrate public support for America's beaches and help preserve them.
