Sunday, April 27, 2008 is Opening Day on the Bay. Opening Day on the Bay is the official start of the sailing season and is always the last Sunday in April. More than 150 boats generally take part in the boat parade, which starts at noon near Chrissy Field and generally finishes around 2 pm at Pier 39. The parade is sponsored by the Pacific Inter-Club Yacht Association and has been around since 1917. This year’s theme is “Mother Goose and Friends”.
If you can’t be out on the Bay, downtown Tiburon and Sausalito are sure to be buzzing with activity as people converge on the two towns to watch the sights. If you are looking to dine downtown, I would highly recommend you make a reservation (If you still can!).
