IRON MIKE FESTIVAL 2019

IRON MIKE FESTIVAL 2019
SUNDAY, AUGUST 18, 2019 7:00 AM - 2:00 PM
The City of Solana Beach would like to invite the community to the 6th Iron Mike Festival this Sunday, August 18th at Fletcher Cove Park. Ocean enthusiasts from across San Diego will gather for this year's community fundraiser. The day is presented by surfboard recycling company, Rerip, the City of Solana Beach and the Solana Beach Lifeguard Association. Activities include a 5-mile paddle race (SUP or prone) and a youth surf contest (The Grom-O-Rama). Water contests start at 8 am, but get there early to participate in a morning beach clean-up, yoga or try out a new stick with demos by Firewire Surfboards. 
AGENDA
7 am - Park open for volunteers and vendor set up 
8 am - Water Events Kick-Off 
  • 5 Mile Prone and Stand Up Paddle Race

9 am - Vendor Booths Open, Board Swap, Silent Auction Begins

11 am - Beer Garden Opens

Celebrating Mike's memory and good vibe started in 2009 when three Solana Beach Lifeguards paddled from San Onofre to Solana Beach in his honor. After a few years figuring out how to make Mike's paddle an annual event, the Lifeguards teamed up with Rerip, who usually planned "The Future of Surfing" event, a celebration of sustainability in surfing, around the same time. The two organizations fused their purposes and are now presenting the 6th Iron Mike Festival.

Concerts at the Cove this Thursday night

Summer “Concerts at the Cove” continues this Thursday night, August 8th, 6pm-7:45pm,
with Hullabaloo performing!
Hullabaloo is Steve Denyes and Brendan Kremer, friends since kindergarten.

Steve plays guitar, sings and writes goofy songs. Brendan plays drums, sings and smiles.

Over the course of fifteen years Hullabaloo has won seventeen national awards, received rave reviews from People, Parenting, Parents, Cookie and Parent & Child Magazines and landed on three national “Top 10 Best Children’s Music” lists.

Hullabaloo plays about 300 shows a year in venues ranging from backyard parties to fancier stages like the Austin City Limits Festival, World Café Live, LEGOLAND, the San Diego Zoo, the Hard Rock Cafe and their own Hullabaloo Family Music Festival. At last count, they’d sold just over 30,000 CDs.

But the truth is, none of these facts and figures matter a bit to kids who just want to sing and dance. What really matters is that Hullabaloo is a foot-stomping, wing-flapping celebration of song that honors and entertains kids and families
This event is free and open to the public. 
The public is encouraged to bring low-back beach chairs, ground cover, picnics, and arrive “Car-Free.” 
No alcohol, tobacco, pets, or personal BBQ’s allowed during concerts.
