Jack London Square welcomes the return of fall with a month of exciting outdoor events on the waterfront. From foodie festivals to sing-along movie nights, Jack London Square is a fun-filled destination for both locals and visitors throughout September.

The month kicks off with the final Jack’s Night Market, a captivating evening of merriment and verve that has been lighting up the waterfront all summer long. September 6 is the last chance for locals and visitors to experience the enchanting entertainment of this outdoor bazaar featuring a fortune teller, free-walking beast, stilt walker, pinball machines, hula hoopers and an out-of-body virtual experience. Night market-goers will also enjoy local artisans, fine crafts, food and drinks—there is something for everyone!

For three special days from September 27 to 29, Jack London Square will transform into an epic food festival celebrating the best of food—the annual Eat Real Festival. Attendees will learn where food comes from, who grows it and how it’s made. The Eat Real Festival presents all things tasty, fresh and handmade with a focus on street food, local wines, handcrafted beers and traditional food craft. Free to attend, all food incorporates regionally sourced and sustainably produced ingredients, and no dish costs more than $5.

Head down to the waterfront before sundown on Thursday, September 12, for the free Sing-along Cinemas screening of the fan favorite Mamma Mia! A theatrical troupe will lead audiences in an evening of song, dance and fun along with the movie. Cinemagoers are invited to show up in costume dressed as their favorite character and sing along to their favorite songs. Stay tuned for one more sing-along screening, Little Shop of Horrors, in October.

In addition to all the waterfront events, Jack London Square visitors can dine at a variety of contemporary restaurants including Bocanova, Forge Pizza, Haven, Lungomare and more. Visitors can easily bike, ferry or drive to Jack London Square, which offers parking and valet for bikes and vehicles. For additional information, visit www.jacklondonsquare.com.
