| | New City Hall Gallery Exhibit "Remote Landscapes" | | | | The Solana Beach Public Arts Commission proudly presents Remote Landscapes, a collection of artwork by Peter Hartshorn, on view now through April 22nd at City Hall. The abstract landscapes of the exhibit reflect artist Peter Hartshorn's visual experiences living and working for decades throughout South America and Africa as an Exploration Geologist.

The City of Solana Beach invites those ages 60 years or older to join the new Senior Pickleball Leagues. Beginner and intermediate leagues run for six weeks during April and May at La Colonia Park. Sign up for a fun, social, competitive activity. Registration is free and opens Tuesday, March 24th at 8:00 AM. | | Coastal Rail Service Closure | | | | This Saturday, March 7th, and Sunday, March 8th, the North County Transit District (NCTD) will be suspending all coastal rail services between San Diego and Oceanside to perform routine railroad maintenance and major infrastructure work. All services will be back to normal on Monday, March 9th. Riders are urged to plan ahead and make alternative travel arrangements. | | Daylight Savings Reminder | | | | How excited are you for warmer weather and later sunsets? It's almost time to "Spring Forward" to Daylight Savings Time which begins this Sunday, March 8th, 2026. Remember to set your alarm clocks ahead an hour before going to bed this Saturday night (or at 2:00 AM on Sunday). This, of course, does mean you will lose an hour of sleep, but it also means the sun sets later in the day! | | Understanding the Economics of Cybercrime
Tuesday, March 10th at 6:00 PM | | | | Solana Beach Community Connections (SBCC) invites you to an informative lecture on understanding cybercrime on Tuesday, March 10th at 6:00 PM at La Colonia Community Center. Every day, millions of people use the internet for work, banking, communication, and entertainment - and are at risk of becoming victims of cybercrime. UCSD professor Stefan Savage will discuss how to understand economics from a criminal stand point, how interventions against that threat have been developed, and how you as a consumer can protect yourself. | | Monthly Solana Beach Games Day
