Spring is in the air and in full swing at Jack London Square! This hub for good food and waterfront fun offers a packed April calendar with events and restaurant options to satisfy all interests and palates. From the Strictly Sail Pacific Boat Show and eclectic markets to on-the-water dining and live jazz, there is something for everyone at Jack London Square.
The 2014 Strictly Sail Pacific Boat Show sails into Jack London Square Thursday, April 10 through Sunday, April 13, featuring all that is exciting in the world of sailing. The West Coast’s largest all-sail boat show will fill the waterfront with catamarans, luxury yachts, dinghies and more. This is the place for avid boaters and nautical newbies to immerse themselves in the world of sailing, talk to experts, attend seminars and even enjoy free sailboat rides on the water. See their ad on page 15 for discounted admission offers.
Jack of All Trades will also fill up Jack London Square on Saturday, April 12, with a curated mix of local makers, indie designers, antiquers, collectors, artists and more brought together by the Treasure Island Flea. Free to the public, this eclectic market on the waterfront features one-of-a-kind items, live music and several free DIY workshops for all ages. Jack of All Trades takes place on the second Saturday of each month.
Jack London Square’s thriving restaurant corridor offers several delicious dining options to enjoy before, during or after the boat show, or any other events. This one-of-a-kind food mecca offers a range of tasty eats including: handcrafted artisan pizzas from Forge; Bocanova’s Pan-American cuisine; crave-able, technique-driven feats from Michelin-starred chef Daniel Patterson’s outpost Haven; the best of Italy’s Tuscan and Ligurian regions at Lungomare; an evening of Japanese dishes and live jazz at Yoshi’s Oakland; and more.
All restaurants offer access to the picturesque waterfront, with many establishments offering exquisite views for diners as well as outdoor dining. Visitors can bike, ferry or drive to Jack London Square. For additional information about Jack London Square, visit www.jacklondonsquare.com.
