Holidays at Sea

Santa switches his sleigh for a rowboat during the annual nautically themed Holidays at Sea festival held aboard the historic sailing ships docked at the Hyde Street Pier. Presented by the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park's Living History Players, this is a holiday version of their popular 'A Day in the Life: 1901' living history programme. Participants step back in time on a guided tour where they encounter and interact with characters engaged in traditional maritime Yuletide celebrations, including carolling and storytelling. At the end of the day, kids get cookies and hot cider.
