If the state continues on its path to end the tier system of COVID-19-related restrictions and fully reopen June 15, La Jolla will be ready to celebrate in a big way with the return of its beloved Fourth of July fireworks display over The Cove.
“It’s going to happen this year,” said Deborah Marengo, director of the La Jolla Community Fireworks Foundation. “Our fundraising committee has been meeting for the last few months in anticipation of our permit being approved, and the fire marshal indicated the permit would be approved for this year.”
At the La Jolla Village Merchants Association’s April 14 meeting, Executive Director Jodi Rudick read a letter from the San Diego Special Events & Filming Department indicating that, provided rates of COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and vaccinations continue positive trends, the show could take place.

Live music is allowed to return to The Village’s indoor venues with relaxed coronavirus restrictions in San Diego County, but it might also be returning to the streets. The La Jolla Village Merchants Association is looking to match musicians with retailers that want them in front of their stores.
LJVMA previously brought musicians to The Village through its Enjoya La Jolla community outings, featuring entertainment, shopping deals and demos, refreshments, prizes, contests and more. Though Enjoya La Jolla is not back in its full capacity, LJVMA Executive Director Jodi Rudick said the outdoor musical element could return.
She said the board spent $1,500 to $2,000 a month on music for Enjoya La Jolla.

Themes and menus for the inaugural Take-Out Taste of The Village are coming together as 16 restaurants prepare to make multicourse dinners showcasing what The Jewel’s restaurateurs have to offer.
The event will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. March 22-25, with four restaurants participating each night. Tickets are $85 for a four-course dinner for two, with one course each provided by each night’s participating restaurants. Twenty percent of ticket sales (plus any gratuities) goes to the restaurants and the rest goes to the La Jolla Village Merchants Association.
“We are super excited,” LJVMA Vice President Morgan Barnes said of the event, adding that it “will reconnect our community and bring a sense of interactive fun back to The Village.”

The La Jolla Village Merchants Association board underwent some changes during its March 10 meeting: Its president, Brett Murphy, stepped down; a new president was elected; a new member was seated; and another new member was accepted and will be sworn in at the next meeting.
Murphy said his gym, La Jolla Sports Club, will reopen under a new name and new ownership in coming weeks, and he therefore doesn’t have a valid business license in The Village and no longer qualifies for a board position.
