About the Event

Before Lido Isle became one of Newport Beach’s most iconic neighborhoods, it was dismissed, doubted, and nearly abandoned.

Join Historian Laureate Bill Lobdell for an intimate evening exploring the improbable origins of Lido Isle. Through historic images, rare documents, and compelling storytelling, discover how an unwanted stretch of land became a defining part of coastal California history.

Doors open at 6:00 PM. Refreshments will be served. Seating is limited.
