Sunday, April 24 is Opening Day on the Bay. There are two events happening that day, one of which has roots that go back several hundred years and the other of which is celebrating its 99th anniversary this year. The first of these is the Blessing of the Fleet, and the second is the Opening Day Decorated Boat Parade. The theme for the parade this year is “Heroes on the Bay.”
The parade will be led by the San Francisco fireboat Phoenix (pictured here). Photo by Mia Bernt S/C PICYA.
