SUMMARY:Lighted Yacht Parade: Light Up the Night
DESCRIPTION:Lighted Yacht Parade: Light Up the Night \nSaturday\, December 6\, 5:30-6:30PM \nWind River Business Park\, 500 Wind River Way\, Alameda \n(see website for parking information)\nFree \nhttp://www.lightedyachtparade.com \nhttp://www.ofrandomacts.org \nhttp://www.accfb.org \n  \n“The 38th annual Lighted Yacht Parade takes place Saturday\, December 6\, 2014 along the waterfront of the Oakland/Alameda Estuary. The parade begins just  after sunset\, around 5:30PM\, and this year’s parade theme is Light Up the Night. \nEach year on the first Saturday in December\, the Lighted Yacht Parade celebrates the holiday season. Bay Area boat owners share in the holiday spirit by decorating their boats and participating in the parade. Hundreds of spectators gather along the waterfront at public viewing areas such as Wind River Park in Alameda and Jack London Square in Oakland\, or at waterfront restaurants along the estuary. For the price of an unwrapped toy\, spectators can even participate in the parade by riding on the San Francisco Bay ferry. In 2013\, over thirty boats participated in the parade\, and this year’s organizers expect even more. \nIn addition to creating a magical evening of lights\, the parade organizers partner with the Oakland Firefighters Random Acts and the Alameda County Community Food Bank to generate donations of food\, unwrapped toys\, or money at designated drop sites. These donations go a long way toward providing food and toys to deserving kids and families during the holiday season. Last year’s event generated several hundred dollars in cash donations and in toy and food donations.”

In Mexico\, neighbors gather in local cemeteries to share food\, music\, and fun with their extended community\, both living and departed. The celebration acknowledges that we still have a relationship with our ancestors and loved ones that have passed away. \n  \nIn San Francisco\, Day of the Dead has been celebrated in the Mission district since the early 70s with art\, music\, performances and a walking procession\, which help us contemplate our existence and mortality – a moment to remember deceased friends and family\, and our connections beyond our immediate concerns. \n  \nDay of the Dead is an alcohol-free event with no vendors or booths of any type. Please honor this tradition and do not attempt to sell goods on the premises of Garfield Park.”

Free Walking Tour of Emperor Norton’s Haunts – Led by the Emperor Himself! \nOr at least someone – Joseph Amster of Emperor Norton’s Fantastic San Francisco Time Machine – who doesn’t play Emperor Norton on TV but does play him rather well on the streets of San Francisco. \n  \nOur Garden Party begins at 2:00PM. If you’d like to get an early start on the festivities\, the Emperor’s tour starts: \nSunday\, September 21 at 11:30AM \nat Empire Park\, 642 Commercial Street\, San Francisco. \nEmpire Park was the site of the Eureka Lodgings boarding house\, where the Emperor lived from 1863 until his death in 1880. \n  \nAt the conclusion of the walking tour – which will last about 60-90 minutes – you can join the Emperor for a couple of short bus rides to near Jefferson Square Park\, and get a proper escort to the party!\nHope to see you there!”
