Event Description:

Thank you for your interest.  All volunteer spots have been filled as of Saturday, July 26, 2025.

Join us for the Taste of Jack London beer & food festival, a vibrant celebration of Oakland’s craft beer and culinary scene, co-hosted by the Jack London Improvement District and the Jack London Brewing District. This revamped version of our beloved Jack London Brewing District Block Party—now in its fourth year—features a fresh new location and an exciting new twist: food tastings from top local restaurants alongside incredible beer. Sip your way through unlimited samples from standout breweries like Cellarmaker Brewing, Original Pattern, Oakland United, Shapeshifters, and many more to be announced. Pair your pours with bites from neighborhood favorites like Xingones Cantina, Everett and Jones BBQ, Farmhouse Thai, and more. Choose a beer tasting ticket, a food tasting ticket—or go all in with both—and enjoy an unforgettable day in the heart of Jack London.
