❤️ Ferry Fest at the SF Ferry Building! 🎶⛴️ San Francisco!

🌊 Celebrate summer on the waterfront with Ferry Fest, the Ferry Building’s 128th anniversary celebration — with live music, local vendors, family-friendly activities, food, wine tasting, and plenty of time to relax and connect.

We’ll gather early before the festival officially begins so we can find each other, chat, and enjoy some social time before the music and festivities get underway. Come solo or bring a friend — this is an easy, casual way to enjoy a San Francisco afternoon with friendly company.

The festival is free and open to all ages.
🍷 Optional wine tasting passes are available for guests 21+ for $22.84 and include 5 tasting tickets plus a commemorative Ferry Building stemless wine glass. Purchase Wine Tasting Passes.
