Join us on Saturday, September 13th, at the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park for the San Francisco Festival of the Sea! This day will be filled with fun and free sea music celebrations for all ages. Get ready for an exciting day filled with outdoor and indoor musical performances, a sandcastle building contest, a boat parade, a captivating puppet show, and an exhibition of historic boats and small crafts in the Aquatic Cove!

This year, we’re excited to bring back the Sandcastle Contest, featuring teams of eight competing for the Golden Bucket award. Sponsorship opportunities and benefits are listed below.
