Celebrate Earth Day in San Francisco with the help of Alcatraz Cruises and Hornblower Cruises’ Respect Our Planet promotion, offering free and family-friendly activities, Saturday, April 20, 10 a.m.–2 p.m.

Festivities include climate education events such as Discover the Bay, where guests play marine biologist with bay water samples and microorganisms under a large-display microscope; create educational, green arts and crafts; win prizes and giveaways by collecting stamps at every booth in your provided passport; enjoy live music; get faces painted; and visit eco-art and farming stations.

Stop by your favorite, sustainably minded organizations at their booth, including the San Francisco Zoo; Aquarium of the Bay; Beekeeper Station; Tree Frog Treks; NorCal Bats; Marine Mammal Center; Cal Academy; Hilton/Park 55; USGS California Water Science Center; Garden Conservancy; and National Park Service, just to name a few.
