East Bay has a particular charm in the fall (maybe it's the abundance of trees that change color?) so hop over and enjoy these seasonal events this weekend.


2nd Annual Autumn Lights Festival 

Breathtaking colors, crisp air, romantic nights, warm cider...yep, we've finally arrived at what's arguably the best season of the year. Come celebrate all that's beautiful about fall this Saturday as Oakland's Lake Merritt district, an all-time favorite for Bay Area natives and visitors alike, hosts its 2nd Annual Autumn Lights Festival. Several local artists have created mesmerizing installations that will be displayed over several acres of garden. Attendees are encouraged to wear their best garden attire and get a glimpse of lighted artwork and sound installations.
