Beyond the Tents

WHERE LOCAL BUSINESSES & FLOWERS MEET

Beyond the Tents is a vibrant, community-driven extension of the Coronado Flower Show that brings the floral celebration off the park grounds and into the heart of the island. Instead of confining the blooms to a single venue, this creative initiative invites local shops, restaurants, salons, hotels, and more to join the festivities and transform the entire city into a springtime celebration.

2026 Participating Businesses

BEYOND THE TENTS GALLERY

Every year, the Coronado business community joins us in celebrating the love of horticulture and flowers.

Are you a local business, interested in participating? 

Instead of confining the beauty of spring blooms to a single location,  we created a floral experience that will envelop the entire community, from installations that adorn our streets and storefronts. We envision offerings that bloom into special floral-themed offerings at local restaurants, shops, florists, salons, hotels, and establishments.

Beyond the Tents is more than just a full community celebration; it's a movement that enhances the traditional boundaries of the Coronado Flower Show and embraces the spirit of growth, innovation, and community. We believe this is the essence of what makes Coronado unique, and we invite you to join in the showcase of offerings during the days leading up to and during the 103rd Annual Coronado Flower Show weekend.
