Chula Vista Centennial Celebration

Celebrate Chula Vista’s 100th birthday at the U.S. Olympic Training Center (OTC).

Guests can dine all day with a variety of food vendors, play family-friendly carnival games, enjoy live music and entertainment on two stages, drink some craft beer or margaritas, shop and watch a fireworks finale.

Also, due to its reputation as the original Lemon Capital of the World, guests can pucker up in the Twist of Lemon tasting area, where they'll sample a variety  of lemon-themed food from more than 20 restaurants. The Twist of Lemon tasting area will be open from 2:00 to 7:00 pm. Tickets can be purchased online for $25 prior to the event, or on the day of the event for $30 (age 21 and over only).

There will also be a 2012 Olympics Preview, which will showcase high-flying BMX athletes. You can ride a bike on the development track, walk the Centennial Milestone Path to check out the classic car display and more.

The night will end with a musically-synced firework show the whole family can enjoy.

A bike valet will be located near the front entrance for those choosing to "go green." Guests must bring their own bike locks but racks will be provided.

General parking across from the OTC and in the adjacent New Hope Church parking lot is $5.

Preferred parking in the upper lot near the gate at the OTC is $10.

A free parking and shuttle service will be offered from the Otay Ranch Town Center.

Happy Birthday, Chula Vista!
