On Saturday, April 27 from 10 am to 5 pm at the beautiful Benicia Marina and Waterfront, Benicia is going "Full Speed Ahead" when the city celebrates Opening Day on the Straits. The day is sponsored by the Benicia Yacht Club.
Events include
Arts and Crafts booths, children’s games and crafts, face painting, game truck, Opening Ceremony, Blessing of the Fleet, Youth Sailing and Race information, free vessel safety checks by the Coast Guard Auxiliary Vallejo/Flotilla 51, Opening Day Boat Parade, Festival and arts and crafts display on Benicia's Marina Green. A full slate of kids' events and various handmade arts/crafts will be on sale.
The Benicia Yacht Club is open to the public and first-year membership specials are available. This year's theme is "Full Speed Ahead", a positive message that was the brainchild of Daniel Rettig, Benicia's unofficial "Captain of the Straits."
