parade

o what fun

Every town around has its giant Christmas tree and well-stuffed sleigh. The next three weekends promise a very San Francisco display of holiday illumination. There will be lighted boat, yacht, barge parades in the East Bay’s Mariner Village on the 3rd, in Sausalito on the 10th (with fireworks) and Fisherman’s Wharf on the 16th. Check their […]

set sail

This weekend’s major regatta does not take place on the Bay but on tranquil Spreckel’s Lake at 36th Avenue and Fulton in glorious Golden Gate Park. It is the 10th bi-annual Wooden Boats on Parade. Dozens of meticulously crafted wooden model boats will be sailing from 9am to 4pm, including sail, power and remote controlled […]

The collection there spans 65 vehicles including a gun motor carriage as well as historic bunkers, uniforms and equipment. No […]

fat friday

Bay seniors who can’t make it to New Orleans for this year’s Mardi Gras might want to consider stopping by our local version in the City’s Bayview District on Friday, February 20 from 5-8. It is all centered around the historic Bayview Opera House, built in 1888 and still active as a community cultural center. […]

jingle all the way

Bay seniors puzzled over the disappearance at airports and street corners of happy, chanting, bald Hare Krishna troupes can catch up with them this Sunday. They will be parading from Telegraph and Stuart in Berkeley (of course)  in their Parade of Chariots starting at 11am. Their repetitious festivities will continue in People’s Park until 6:30pm. […]
