Most people can not go to London for the Olympics, but that does not mean you can't celebrate like you are there. Chula Vista is home to the famous Olympic Training Center, and they are sponsoring an event to watch opening ceremonies with the USS Midway. This will happen at 630pm on Friday at the USS Midway Museum. It is free and open to everyone with food and beverages for sale.
The Olympic Opening ceremonies
is such a grand spectacle that watching them from the living room couch
doesn’t seem appropriate. Luckily, the Chula Vista Olympic Training
Center and the USS Midway will screen the event live on two giant TV
screens aboard the aircraft carrier’s flight deck.
Along
with watching the glamorous Parade of Nations and performances
happening from London’s
Olympic Stadium, attendees will also be treated
to activities on the ship. There will be archery demonstrations with
Olympic Training Center resident athletes, photos with a real Olympic
torch, juggling demonstrations by the Paralympic soccer team and
interactive sports displays.
There
will also be authentic British food and beverages for sale to feel like
you’re in the center of it all. The gates open at 6:30 p.m. and the
broadcast begins at 7:30 p.m. Light lawn chairs will be permitted.
Details: Opening Ceremonies Viewing Party. 6:30 p.m. Friday. USS Midway Museum, 910 North Harbor Drive, Embarcadero. Free
