Alameda’s inaugural Harvest Celebration with Almanac Beer, local food trucks

This food, beer, wine and spirits festival takes place on the old Alameda Naval Air Station grounds in late October.

The island of Alameda has become a hub for craft breweries, distilleries and wineries, and fun restaurants, bakeries and food purveyors of all kinds. Now it’s getting a harvest festival, too. The inaugural Alameda Harvest Celebration, hosted by Almanac Beer Co. and Admiral Maltings, will feature artisanal foods and beverages from more than a dozen Alameda-based companies.

This weekend-long celebration runs from noon to 9 p.m. Oct. 26-27. Admission is free; food and drinks are pay-as-you-go. The fun will unfold in the area around Almanac and Admiral Maltings at 651 W. Tower Ave., on the grounds of the former Alameda Naval Air Station. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the non-profit Alameda Point Collaborative in its efforts to provide supportive housing for homeless and needy families.
