The free event will be held from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Aug. 5 outside The Plaza and will feature a ribbon-cutting ceremony and remarks from muralist David Ybarra and Lantern Crest leadership. Attendees will also be invited to The Legacy for light refreshments, additional artwork by Ybarra and live music.
Ybarra, a longtime San Diego artist, spent several months creating the large-scale mural, which depicts local landmarks, community icons and historic moments, including the Hotel del Coronado, Coronado Bridge, Pacific Beach Pier, Belmont Park, the USS Midway, the San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld, the Padres, the Chargers, the Gaslamp Quarter, the Lakeside Rodeo, local missions and scenes from the civil rights movement.
