Ahh, winter is finally over here in Carlsbad and we {Carlsbad Inn} are absolutely thrilled! Time to escape the house, soak up some Vitamin D and enjoy the sunnier days. Carlsbad is a lively city in the spring season hosting numerous activities & events around the local area. If you’re considering a trip to Southern California this season, we suggest springing into action by choosing the Carlsbad Inn for the best resort in the best location!
Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch:
Need to update your Instagram or Facebook feed with some new content? We highly recommend visiting the Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch! Opening in early March (normally around the 1st) into May, the rolling hills just east of Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort are transformed into one of the most beautiful and organized displays of natural colored giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers. The annual bloom lasts around 6-8 weeks and is one of Carlsbad’s official ways of announcing the Spring season. Enjoy an afternoon perusing through the neatly organized rows of these wildly colorful flowers- your inner self and social media followers will not be disappointed!
Additional family-friendly activities are also available onsite including a Sweet Pea Maze, Tractor Wagon rides, Mediterranean garden or Butterfly gardens! The Flower Fields are open from 9am-6pm and tickets can be purchased online.
Spring Kaleidoscope:
From March 23 – April 21, explore Carlsbad Village for pop-up art installations at local establishments! Hosted by Carlsbad Village Association, the Spring Kaleidoscope is a temporary art installation featuring ten (10) local artists creations at numerous downtown businesses in Carlsbad Village. The art pieces are reflections of Spring, otherwise known as a season of awakening or rebirth.
Lucky enough, the Carlsbad Inn has been chosen to feature an installation! You won’t miss the bright and beautiful piece in the front lobby of the resort- stop by to check it out.
Carlsbad 5000:
Join the competitive fun and run the “world’s fastest 5k” right here in Carlsbad Village! After a long winter cooped-up indoors this is a great social run for all ages or enter the finals and join some of the world’s elite runners for a chance to break records. The Carlsbad 5k is held on Sunday, April 7 in downtown Carlsbad Village- the race course is along the beautiful coast line of Carlsbad from Grand Ave. to Cannon St. and back. Insider tip- choose the Carlsbad Inn for easy convenience to the starting line or just for spectating purposes. This race is USATF certified and hosts multiple races through-out the day so all runners are welcomed.
Spring Break:
Spring break season is a time all school kids and families look forward too as well as us here at Carlsbad Inn! For a few weeks of March and April each year, the Carlsbad community sees a spike in travel with schools on break and we love it. Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort is the perfect option for family getaways; parking, beach equipment and amenities are all covered by a daily resort fee during your trip. No need to lug around boogie boards or bikes to the beach- simply check-out the equipment from our Activities team and return at the end of day. After a long day at the beach you’ll find dining and meals are easily found right across the street- with a variety of options for cuisine. Talk about convenience!
Carlsbad Village Street Fair:
Come explore the largest one-day street faire in the nation on Sunday, May 5! Located on Grand Ave and several cross streets just blocks away- you’ll be challenged to see the 900+ vendors including local artisans, street food vendors and activities/games for the kids. Choose the Carlsbad Inn for easy convenience plus you’ll want to lay back and rest after a full day walking this street faire! If you miss this faire, don’t fret- plan for the next faire on the 1st Sunday of November.
We hope some of these events will help motivate you & your family to choose the Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort for your next vacation! Sea you soon!
