Looking for the quintessential quirky San Francisco adventure? Try the Alameda Oakland ferry’s run from the City back to the East Bay, passing under the ruins of the Bay Bridge along the way.
Clara Bellino and a few friends will be performing live Saturday, October 31st on a San Francisco ferry, leaving from the Ferry Building (2:25 PM) Fishermans Wharf – Pier 41 (2:50 PM) and stopping at Angel Island, Alameda and Oakland before returning to San Francisco. This fantastic tour of the Bay is to celebrate the 2nd to last run of the Angel Island ferry for the summer season.
This is the only ferry run that tours Sausalito, Angel Island, Treasure Island, Yerba Buena, the Bay Bridge and the Oakland Estuary all as part of its normal weekend schedule. But there’s nothing “normal” about this run, as passengers will hear Clara Bellino perform, while witnessing wonderful Bay Views on this extended schedule. Beverages and snacks are sold on board as are ferry tickets. There is no extra charge for the performance and all are welcome.
Clara’s reviews have been interesting, with Lyrical Venus noting "Awesome, Bright, Bubbly, … Quirky, Fun, Whimsical." (Sep 2, 2009). Or “The more I listen to this CD, the more I like it, and that’s all I need to know”. Review by Gita Tewari the Feminist Review (Oct 1, 2009).
Clara has played at Café du Nord, benefit concerts on the East Coast, the European Continent and local Bay Area venues. This is a chance to celebrate Halloween early with extraordinary music while still having plenty of time left for other activities. Visitors can join at Alameda, Oakland or San Francisco and disembark in the early afternoon.
