The Experience:

Island City Waterways ArtWalk: Park St!

Connecting Cultures – Connecting Community – Friday, May 6, 5-8pm

Join Rhythmix  on a sonic journey down Park Street, connecting cultures through the sounds of Zimbabwean mbira, Puerto Rican plena, American Tribal Style belly dance, Detroit blues and students on strings for the final installation of Island City Waterways Art Walks.

Become spellbound in front of Karibu Lounge, with Piwai’s captivating vocals and hypnotic sound, as she bends genres, seamlessly flowing from jazz, reggae and folk to pure African rhythms. Dance your way down Alameda Ave with La Mixta Criolla, specializing in original and funky renditions of swinging Caribbean grooves and traditional tunes including plena, bomba, aguinaldo, merengue, cumbia and salsa. Revel in Sandi & Yuka’s rhythmically driven hip isolations, arm undulations and shimmies. Sit back and chill in the Daisy’s parklet with Jake Sampson and Matt Baxter’s Detroit-based blend of Motown, jazz, R&B, blues and soul. Support the Bay Area Music Project as the Advanced String Ensemble (grades 3-5) shows their skills on violin and cello in front of Twirl.

Free for all ages; RSVP recommended.

The Experience, Alameda: Almanac Beer Co. + WCK for Ukraine

The Experience:

Buy Peaceful Pils & Provide Fresh Food & Hot Meals to our Ukrainian Friends!

Almanac is raising money to feed Ukrainians through World Central Kitchen. Peaceful Pilsner is a hopeful lager, brewed in solidarity with Ukrainians, and all people suffering from the impacts of war.

This Bohemian-style pilsner directly supports the work of World Central Kitchen, a nonprofit that’s first to the frontlines, providing meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises. You can find Peaceful Pilsner at the taproom this weekend, on the webstore, and at the San Francisco Ferry Plaza Farmers Market this Saturday! Free shipping when you order any six 4-packs or more.

About WCK

Within days of the initial Russian invasion, WCK began serving meals to families traveling long distances and waiting for hours at various border crossings in Poland and then in Romania, Moldova, Hungary, and Slovakia. At the same time, urgent food needs quickly grew within Ukraine. They started working with local restaurants and bakers with their partner volunteers to provide large quantities of meals for the Ukrainians.

“It’s a universal human right to live free from hunger,” states founder & chef José Andrés. At first it seemed overwhelming. “But many complex problems have simple solutions. Sometimes you just need to decide to do something. Sometimes you just have to show up with a sandwich or some warm rice and beans. You’d be amazed at the power of a plate of food. It can change the world, and so can you.”

Almanac’s Barrel House, Taproom and Brewery are open 7 days a week!
