Sausalito, Ca –
Sausalito’s colorful floating homes community will open its doors to
visitors on Saturday, September 17th from 11am to 4pm.
The self-guided tour takes visitors inside 19 of the most fun and unique
homes in the world. Docents will also be on-board to describe the
incredible waterfront lifestyle and answer questions.
Many of the homes on this year's tour have never been open to the public
before and the
chance to take this historical tour down these water streets is not to be
missed. Each home is an architectural masterpiece. One of the featured
homes is the ”Ameer", which has a rich history: originally built in 1910 as
an ark; renovated a couple of times, but has kept its classic ark
features;and is the last ark still floating on Richardson’s Bay
The tour begins at Kappas Marina, on Gate 6
Road off Bridgeway at the northern end of
Sausalito, just over the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco. The Green
at Kappas
Marina is the center for food and fun throughout the day. There will be
free entertainment, featuring local musicians, including Joe Tate, Lauralee
Brown, and Colby Millea, so you will be able to watch and hear a variety of
highly talented artists. Plus, food and drinks will be available for
purchase.
And this year, the Kappas Green will be more festive than ever with an
outstanding free Art Show and Sale, featuring work by several artists--all
residents of the floating homes community. Their wide variety of work will
be available for viewing and purchase and will include paintings, sculpture,
photographs, drawings, etc. |
