Cruise-in, anchor out, raft up and stay for the weekend!
In the heart of the Bay Area lies - a Bay! And we want to celebrate the best way we know to get out and enjoy it: aboard a sailboat. We're inviting all Bay Area residents to sail in or just come down and enjoy the Treasure Island waterfront. If you don't have a boat don't worry - you can get free sailboat rides, watch sailboat racing and enjoy live music at the festival village.
Date: June 21/22
Time: Saturday music from noon to 7pm
Place: Clipper Cove, Treasure Island Yacht Club
Click here for directions.
Celebrate the eighth annual Summer Sailstice with a full weekend of sailing, cruising, racing, windsurfing and onshore entertainment in Clipper Cove and Treasure Island.

Come celebrate with music from:
Blind Willies
(www.blindwillies.net) - Alexei Wajchman and Annie Staninec are an
acoustic duo that has just released their second album, "Everybody's
Looking for a Meal." Both are San Francisco natives and graduates of
the SF School of the Arts. Annie's fiddle playing is amazing and she
has played with many bluegrass bands across the States and is also a
remarkable gypsy violinist. Alexei is a great songwriter, pulling from
what really drives his spirit, and he received strong praise after the
release of their first album.
Skip Henderson and The Starboard Watch - good friends
and great musicians. They celebrate maritime life and history, and live
it at the same time. Sea chanteys that you are bound to join in on
because they become part of you after you've heard them a few times,
and you just want to go and find a line to heave. Great vocals and a
wide variety of instruments that pull you in to sing along with them.
Carne Crude with Alexa Weber Morales - Whenever I hear a unique collaboration between musicians,
I am thrilled with their love of music and exploration - so I asked
these two great musical sounds if they would perform together, and they
were game. Not to miss. Alexa has found a way to my make her permanent
musical imprint on my mind, and I love the big band Latin groove of
Carne Cruda.
Kalbass - Ah, as the day winds down, what do you want
to do? Dance, dance, dance. This Haitian band is going to pull out all
the stops and infect you with the spirit of les Caraïbes. The rhythm
and the dancers will have you moving and enjoying the longest day of
the year as if it will never end.
