This is the event’s second year, and the six-hour soirée will include live music, local shopping, family activities, vintage vendors, cocktails, and art-making along the Embarcadero.
Noise Pop and the Ferry Building have lined up Bay Area bands, including French Cassettes, Country Risqué, Combo Tezeta, and more, while the popular Pickwick Vintage Show and Napa wine tastings add to the festivities.
Admission is free with advance online registration.
For 21+, you may purchase a wine tasting pass for $22.84, which includes 5 tasting tickets and a Ferry Building signature stemless wine glass.
Make an afternoon of it by combining Ferry Fest with a walk along the Embarcadero to Fisherman’s Wharf, or an exciting behind-the-scenes tour at Oracle Park (baseball fans will love it!).
For travelers staying overnight, several family-friendly hotels near the Embarcadero and Fisherman’s Wharf make a fun base for a summer weekend in San Francisco.
