If there’s one thing that makes living in Coronado, Panama, so special, it’s the community! October is shaping up to be one of the most vibrant months of the year at the Coronado Golf & Country Club.

From live music under the stars to Halloween festivities for the little ones, this month’s lineup of Coronado events has something for everyone.

Whether you’re a long-time resident, a weekend visitor, or someone curious about what life in the Coronado community looks like, consider this your personal invitation to dive in.

A Community Like No Other: The Heart of Coronado

Before we get into the events themselves, it’s worth pausing to appreciate just how far the Coronado community has come. Today the Coronado area has sprawled along Panama’s Pacific Coast, roughly 80 kilometers from Panama City. Coronado holds the distinction of being Panama’s first resort community — a pioneering development that set the standard for coastal living in the country.

What began as a weekend retreat for Panamanian families has grown, decade by decade, into one of the most sought-after expat communities in Panama. Today, Coronado is home to both Panamanians and expats. These residents are not only retirees, but they are also remote workers, entrepreneurs, and families from Panama, North America, Europe, and many more places around the world. What brings everyone together is the goal of a more relaxed lifestyle.

The Coronado Golf & Country Club is a meeting place. The private club offers restaurants, pools, sports facilities, and a packed events calendar. The club is a place where connections are made, traditions are celebrated, and memories are built. This October, that spirit is on full display. Here’s what is happening in Coronado this October: 

Saturday, October 3rd: Live Music with Pascal Turner at La Terraza

La Terraza Restaurant | 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM

Kick off the month the right way! Enjoy music, food, and great company. On the evening of October 3rd, Pascal Turner takes the stage at La Terraza Restaurant for a live music performance that will set the tone for the entire month.

La Terraza is one of the Club’s more casual dining venues, known for its relaxed ambiance and outdoor surroundings. Whether you’re coming with a partner, a group of friends, or simply looking to meet new people, this is the kind of evening that reminds you why you chose Coronado in the first place.

Why it brings people together: Live music has a unique way of dissolving barriers. It doesn’t matter where you’re from or how long you’ve lived here — when the music starts, everyone becomes part of the same moment. Events like this are a cornerstone of the Coronado lifestyle, blending leisure, culture, and community!

Reservations are recommended. Call 6330.9516 to secure your table.

Saturday, October 3rd (Afternoon): Kidz Club Halloween Decoration Activity

Kidz Club & Cinito Area |  3:00 PM – 5:00 PM

While the adults prepare for their evening out, the kids get their own special event earlier in the day! The Kidz Club kicks off its Halloween season with a fun-filled Halloween decoration activity for children, held in the Kidz Club and Cinito area.

This is a wonderful opportunity for the youngest members of the community to express their creativity, make new friends, and start building excitement for the Halloween celebrations later in the month. Supervised and thoughtfully organized, it’s the kind of afternoon activity that parents can feel great about.

Saturday, October 10th: Live Music  at Segundo Piso

Segundo Piso Restaurant |  6:00 PM – 9:00 PM

The musical momentum continues on October 10th, when Bavrak Bustamante, a talented saxophonist, performs live at Segundo Piso Restaurant. If you haven’t experienced Segundo Piso yet, this is the perfect excuse to visit. The restaurant’s name, "Second Floor" in Spanish, hints at its elevated perspective, both literally and in terms of dining experience.

The smooth, soulful sound of a live saxophone paired with an evening at one of the Club’s signature restaurants is the definition of a perfect Saturday night. This is the kind of Coronado weekend event that locals look forward to and visitors remember long after they’ve returned home.

Why it brings people together: Music, food, and a beautiful setting are a universal language. Events like this one reflect the cultural richness of the Coronado community.

Saturday, October 17th: Cocktail Night & Live Music La Terraza

 La Terraza Restaurant | 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM

Midway through the month, the Club is offering a Cocktail Night and Live Music event featuring the talented Carla Kjaerby. This is one of October’s most anticipated evenings! A sophisticated blend of craft cocktails, live performance, and the kind of relaxed glamour that Coronado does so well.

La Terraza once again provides the perfect backdrop, and with a slightly later start time, this event has the feel of a true night out. Whether you dress up or keep it casual, the atmosphere will do the rest. Carla Kjaerby’s performance promises to be a highlight of the month, drawing both longtime residents and newcomers eager to experience Coronado’s social scene.
