It's a race to the finish line at the International Dragon Boat Festival. Come watch spectacular boats adorned with colorful dragon heads and tails manned with 20 or more paddlers as they reenact a Chinese tradition to appease the river dragons. Today it's one of the fastest growing watersports in the world.

The Layover music bar and art lounge dances to the beat of its own drum in the heart of downtown Oakland. The bohemian interior spins an eclectic mix of DJ line ups, bands and showcases art collections of Bay Area artists. Drinks are green with signature organic cocktails, and the location is sweet sitting next to top nightlife attractions like the Fox Theater, Paramount Theater, and 19th Street BART.

The Fox Theater is a show stopper. The historic and iconic show palace elicits absolute awe from ticket holders from the moment they step inside the grand venue. The stage lights up with top entertainment acts, from Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons to Broadway musical hits like Wicked.
