Making Waves on the Waterfront
Neighborhood: Embarcadero
Description
San Francisco’s northern waterfront has long been a site of legendary innovation. Before the tech boom revolutionized the world, local inventors were dreaming up modern staples like denim jeans and TVs. Labor and human rights organizers catalyzed movements. It’s a city defined by forward progress — if you slow down, you get left in the dust.
Feel the surge of disruption that ripples throughout the San Francisco waterfront. Learn about the Gold Rush pioneers, entrepreneurs, inventors and architects that created this modern marvel of a city. We’ll explore level ground (no hills to climb), visiting a grand collection of historic sites and hidden parks, all along the sensational northern shoreline.
