CIFF is thrilled to present “Gidget Comes to Coronado,” a special weekend featuring two events with Kathy Kohner-Zuckerman, the iconic surfer girl and real-life inspiration for the GIDGET novel, TV shows, and film.
The festivities begin with GIDGET'S BEACH BASH, an evening on the sand at Hotel Del Coronado beach on Friday, July 12. The event opens at 7 PM and will feature a screening of the 1959 film GIDGET. Guests are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy a sunset cocktail, live music by the Coronado Ukulele Club, a raffle drawing, and a Q&A session with Kathy Kohner-Zuckerman, also known as Gidget.
The celebration continues on Saturday, July 13, with a documentary screening of ACCIDENTAL ICON: THE REAL GIDGET STORY at the Village Theater in Coronado. Post-screening Q&A. Limited VIP tickets include a copy of the bestselling book Gidget, written by her father Frederick Kohner and inspired by Kathy’s teenage summer in Malibu, along with a book signing.
