SF celebrates Ferry Building with second annual festival. San Franciscans will celebrate the Ferry Building's 128th anniversary Sunday with a daylong extravaganza at the Embarcadero. Hudson Pacific Properties and Noise Pop, the Bay Area independent music and events promoter, will host the second edition of Ferry Fest. Launched last year, the annual event - which commemorates the Ferry Building's July 13, 1898, opening - will run from noon to 6 p.m. There will be Bay Area musicians, cocktails, retail vendors courtesy of the Pickwick Vintage show, and art. Visitors ages 21 and up can purchase $22.85 wine-tasting passes, giving them access to drinks from members of the Napa Valley Vintners trade association and a stemless wine glass. Proceeds will benefit the nonprofit Foodwise. Organizers said Ferry Fest will reflect the landmark's longstanding reputation as an everyday hub of social activity for residents and visitors alike, while simultaneously highlighting regional artistic and cultural contributors. "Our goal with Ferry Fest is to capture what makes the Ferry Building - and San Francisco - so extraordinary," said Lillian Brauner, Ferry Building senior programming and events manager. She said the organization could think of "no better way to celebrate this iconic gathering place than by bringing together the exceptional food, culture and community that have made it a beloved destination for 128 years." Noise Pop will showcase nine Bay Area musical acts, with Sunday's lineup including names like French Cassettes, Animal Prince, DJ Walkin' Love, Nina Durango and Country Risque. Noise Pop founder Kevin Arnold said his employees wanted to create "a lineup and experience packed with local performers that represents the diversity and spirit of San Francisco." The region's creative community will also be highlighted by the San Francisco Bay Area Etsy Team, a collective of artisans who sell their works on the Etsy website. Artists will hold workshops throughout the Ferry Building, where participants can make their own bedazzled bracelets, craft trinket trays and design drink coasters out of felt. Rebecca Saylor said that, for her and her fellow SFEtsy artists, it feels like "such an honor to bring art to San Francisco and to everyone who comes out to celebrate with us." Saylor said that "it means a lot to see art still pulsing through the lifeblood of this city."
