Fiesta Alameda will feature hometown Building 43 Winery serving their delicious wines, craft brews from Latino-owned Del Cielo Brewery, Micheladas courtesy of Modelo and CA Draft Tech, and margaritas and more mixed with award-winning tequilas Olmeca Altos and Código 1530.
Alameda’s newest event space, Radium Runway, is at the Alameda Point Taxiway, which is at 2151 Ferry Point, adjacent to the Seaplane Lagoon Promenade. Radium Runway is the site of West End Arts District’s latest large-scale mural project. Check out the beautiful artwork on the container walls!
Also, Michael Lane Homes will sponsor the kids’ crafting zone at Fiesta Alameda, where kids of all ages will get crafty and creative while testing their knowledge of the flags and geography of Latin and Central America. Fiesta Alameda discounted drink packages are available now through Saturday.
RSVP for free to be automatically entered into a raffle to win Fiesta Alameda T-shirts — five winners will be drawn and announced at the festival.

Downtown Alameda Autumn Wine Stroll returns Saturday
It’s back! The Downtown Alameda Autumn Wine Stroll will return from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday.
Sip and stroll your way through Alameda’s historic downtown while tasting exquisite wines. Enjoy a Saturday afternoon filled with good vino, hors d’oeuvres and entertainment while learning about the unique styles of featured wineries and local chefs.
This year, the stroll’s sponsor, the Downtown Alameda Business Association (DABA), is pleased to partner with the All Good Living Foundation (allgoodlivingfoundation.org), which works to help the Bay Area’s most vulnerable children in need, as no child should go without the necessities to lead a healthy and happy life.
These issues are prevalent and affect more families than most people realize. With a belief in the power of uniting a community and working together, the foundation’s goal is to provide the essentials that are in desperate need. For ticket to the wine stroll or more details, visit bit.ly/alawinestroll2023 online.

Main Street Ferry Terminal closing for over two months
The Main Street Ferry Terminal in Alameda will close for renovation for more than two months starting in late October, ferry service officials said. The terminal’s operations will be suspended from Monday through Jan. 1, according to a San Francisco Bay Ferry news release, for repair and replacement of the terminal’s aging infrastructure to comply with with seismic safety requirements.
During the closure, downtown San Francisco-bound riders can use the Alameda Seaplane Lagoon Ferry Terminal while ferries to Chase Center and South San Francisco will only be available from the Oakland Ferry Terminal. The Alameda Short Hop route will be suspended during the closure. Operations at the Main Street terminal are planned to resume Jan. 2 for the Oakland and Alameda, South San Francisco, Alameda Short Hop, Oracle Park and Chase Center ferry routes.
“Design elements also prepare the terminal for future fleet electrification needs. Upon completion of the project, passengers will see direct benefits like more efficient ferry operations and modernized terminal lighting,” according to San Francisco Bay Ferry.
