Learn the history of the Bay as you set sail aboard a classic vessel.
SAIL THE BAY: Take in the beauty of the Bay and get a history lesson at the same time aboard a classic sailboat. The 1891 National Landmark Scow Schooner Alma sets sail from Hyde Street Pier, at Hyde and Jefferson Streets and will give you a visual tour of San Francisco's past including Native Americans, Spanish explorers, the Gold Rush, lighthouses, the Barbary Coast, Fisherman's Wharf, earthquakes, fires, shipbuilding and more. Tickets are $35 for adults and boarding begins at 12:30 p.m.
CREATURE FEATURES: Find out what's living high above and under foot in the great outdoors around your neighborhood and surrounding parks. Join a park ranger at Ed Levin County Park for a lesson on the wildlife within residential areas in our valley. Meet at the ranger's office at 2 p.m.
WOODIES ON THE WHARF: The classic wood-paneled vehicles of yesteryear roll onto the Santa Cruz Wharf for a show sure to make you "oooh" and "ahhh." Slip on your flip-flops and enjoy a day on the beach while cruising by these unique rides. The show starts at 10 a.m. Don't forget your camera!
