Taste of Jack London

Taste of Jack London is the kind of neighborhood festival that understands food and drink are best enjoyed as a reason to wander. The annual beer and food gathering takes over BLOC15 and the surrounding area with tastings from local restaurants, Oakland and Alameda breweries, live music, and a local maker market. The appeal is less about chasing the biggest names and more about discovering the places that make the district worth exploring in the first place. Sample a new brew, split a few bites, then keep moving through the afternoon at your own pace. With participating spots ranging from breweries to longtime neighborhood favorites, it feels like a condensed tour of the area’s creative food and drink scene. Bring friends, arrive hungry, and leave with a few new local favorites.
