When the Summer Solstice arrives in late June, Carlsbad has already geared up for summertime fun!  Our resorts and hotels have readied for the arrival of visitors eager to enjoy well-deserved vacation time. After the initial excitement of arriving in Carlsbad and having been to the beach, the lagoons and LEGOLAND, it’s time to find out what else there is to do. Here’s a sampling of fun events in Carlsbad.  

 

The Carlsbad Music Festival Music Walk on June 20 features over 50 performing musicians throughout the Village.  Check it out! It’s a fun, free event of adventurous music by the beach. Featuring a wide variety from puppet operas, to rock and roll. 

 

The Carlsbad Triathlon on July 12 begins at Tamarack Surf Beach, and follows the coastline of Carlsbad, past scenic beaches, lagoons and a wildlife preserve.
