By - posted 10/25/2013 No Comment

There’s no Fleet Week for 2013, so Fisherman’s Wharf is throwing itself a party instead – the inaugural Wharf Fest.

It’s a free festival on October 26 and 27, 2013 to celebrate the legacy of San Francisco’s historic waterfront district, Pier 39’s 35th Anniversary, and the 50th Anniversary of the opening of Hyde Street Pier to the public.

Soak in the fall sun with live music, food and wine, a harvest beer tasting area, a Saturday chowder competition, a demonstration kitchen, rides, Saturday night fireworks, and more.
