Vigilucci's Beach Bocce World Championship XXXVI
A day filled with food, sun, and championship beach bocce ball action while raising money in support of Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad’s after school programs. In addition, a small portion of the proceeds is donated to the Friends of the Powerhouse and Beach.
Highlighted by colorful costumes and intense competition, this year’s event boasts over 400 two-person teams. Over 1300 players and spectators (no charge) are expected. Parking is available at the Del Mar Racetrack (enter through the Solana Gate off of Via de la Valle) and complimentary shuttles are provided to the beach.
The annual championship, which typically sells out registration within an hour, attracted a sold-out crowd of 412 teams of seasoned and first-time players who competed in 1020 games on 81 courts in 2015, raising more than $100,000 and bringing the event’s 35-year total fundraising to more than $1 million.
