Join us for our 9th annual celebration of world-class Blues musicians, a myriad of local craft breweries, and smoking BBQ vendors. Headlining on the main stage will be Chris Cain, Terrie Odabi, and Aki Kumar Blues Jam. Local pitmasters have included Tante’s Catering, Evergood, T&S Extreme, Smoking Woods, Speer, Pearsons, Stackhouse BBQ–along with Alameda locals C’era Una Volta and Calafia–serving up smoky barbecue and sides, while craft breweries showcase their best seasonal brews. In addition to the festivities, attendees will have the opportunity to peruse locally-crafted wares from Bay Area vendors. Kids can get crafty and stay engaged at the Family Zone hosted by Ozzy's Music Academy. With acres of green space, easy access, and great facilities, the whole family will love this community park turned live music festival. Want to escape the crowds at the stage? Bring a blanket or lawn chair, take the kids to the playground, or even go take in a view of the breathtaking San Francisco Bay.
