I love that this is right in the middle of downtown Clayton. This was you can enjoy the local businesses as well. At the festival my favorite booths were the olive oil and vinegar where I bought four bottles it was that good! Nice that they gave out samples to try. The other booth I really liked was the toffee. Omg that stuff was good. All the vendors were nice as well as all the volunteers. I loved how they offered beer to drink as well. I am not a fan of wine so I'm glad i was still included! We also tried out the food court where I shared crab fries and a crab roll with my boyfriend. This was just ok. Loved the live music to sit and watch. Overall had an amazing day at the festival!

The basketball program is an absolute joke. …read more First off for 250$ there should be more than 1 practice a week!! Then theres the coaching.. yikes, talk about not caring and just throwing the kids out there, no positions are given to these kids. "Find a guy" and guard them status. The practices are way too short to help the not so good players get better. If your child isn't too good then they will ride the bench every other quarter when its gametime. The attention to helping these kids get better just isnt there. If you're the coaches kid you get full time to play. Most coaches let their own kid pretty much run the show. They seem to always be the ball hogs, taking way too many shots! Missing enough to pull them out but that rarely ever happens. Guy running the league is as smug and cocky as they come. Its obvious a side hustle to supplement his income. 250$ per kid @ about 100 kids per session the guy is winning for sure! From the 4 times we've been apart of this league I felt it's time to leave a review. We will not continue our journey here! Goodluck to all you and thank you for the read!

The beer/wine/cider booths have plastic cups!) Great vendors that slightly change from one year to the next. Some all time favorites that show up every time! Fun food fare.

Take a break from the heat (damn global warming!) and head to the large tent near the food vendors to enjoy the shade and some classic Oktoberfest music and dancing! Family fun event that has carnival rides, shopping, liquid libations, tummy treats! If you're a local, you always bump into someone that you know.

My wife and I enjoy a night at the theater, but living out in the Clayton Valley area it can be…read morequite a trek to visit the more prominent theaters in the City (pricey tickets, aside) - and as a result we love East Bay community theater. So we were delighted (and surprised) to see an advertisement for a play in Clayton put on by a local theater company - the Clayton Theater Company. Community theater in Clayton? We had to check this out! With a super convenient location, we chose a weeknight evening showing. A short drive to the theater, free diagonal parking literally across the street from Endeavor Hall in Clayton, reasonable ticket prices - this definitely was not a San Francisco or Berkeley theater experience! We were fans before the show even started. This was true community theater. Much work was done by volunteers, people giving their time to foster arts in their community. Talking to some people involved in the production, rehearsals went on for a couple months beforehand, actors and musicians rehearsing hours into the night after working a full day. The play was "Radio Hour", a dramatization of a 1940s radio variety hour production. The play was wonderful, and featured a marvelous blend of drama, singing, dancing and music. The live music really made the show. As a bonus we took away insights and an appreciation for the behind-the-scenes work of early radio productions. Endeavor Hall has constraints as to stage size and we admired the creativity behind the stage setting and production to optimize what they had. Unbeknownst to us, the Clayton Theater Company has been putting on productions since at least 2013, typically at least a couple a year. Past productions have included Arsenic and Old Lace, Urinetown, Rumors, and You're a Good Man Charlie Brown. They won several 2017 Shellie Awards. Community theater fans in the area owe it to themselves to check out the Clayton Theater Company.

My wife & I took in the recent "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" - we enjoyed the play so much, that we saw it not just once, but twice.

Highly recommend!

I returned for the first time in 15 years and can honestly say not much has changed. The place is decently clean for the most part, but I did notice that the cup holders in front of my seats had spider webs all over. Later on during the show I was attending, the spider came out I ended up having to kill it. I think the lack of up keeping has been due to a noticeable decrease in ticket sales. I attended a rock concert that hosted 8 bands, half of them big names and the place failed to sell at least 40% of the tickets. I believe that was due to the economy and also the fact the concert was taking place on a Sunday. Regardless, this place has some places to pick up on. The pricing was interesting, some food was expensive as you'd expect but there were hidden gems like a $12 free refill soda cup and also $2 hot dogs. I also appreciated the fact we could bring in practically unlimited sealed water bottles and an electronic spray fan with no issues. What was a huge difference compared to my prior experience was that ushers didn't ticket anyone in the seating areas, probably because there were so many empty ones and also a lot of people were trying to escape the heat/sun. Overall, I had a decent experience this time around. Staff were friendly, parking was free, and unlike most venues, you can actually find a surprisingly good deal for food and drinks.

Holiday train review - Absolutely spectacular and warm heartening experience for our 3 and 4 year…read moreold girls! I don't know what other low rating patrons are expecting... fireworks? High class service? Jazz band playing in every train car with speakers interconnected? We came expecting nothing and ended up having an incredible experience with beautiful decorations well suited for a sweet, memorable Christmas train experience. Online reservations were simple, easy to obtain, and a lot more affordable compared to the exorbant Polar Express tickets. We're extremely happy that we chose this over Sacramento's Polar Express. It's obvious that their staff spent a lot of time putting work into the trains inner and outter decor - beautiful and creative! Parents and adults FYI - on your way to your reserved train car, there's a small bar after boarding the train. It's very important to load up on your magic drinks before heading to your seat. (Drinks.. not drink! But drink responsibly, of course.) Parking isn't far and although limited, it shouldn't be a problem with reservations handled appropriately. We sang a few Christmas songs with the elves, threw snowballs at the grinch (best part, IMO), met Santa, and had a little fun at Santa's (little) village after the ride. Every sip of their hot cocoa (included with your tickets) was warming and delicious, perfect for cold weather. Couple of cookies came along with it, perfect for our kids to snack on. Overall, this was an incredible experience for our kids! Service was fantastic, ambiance was very jolly and felt like home, staff members are very friendly, and the experience is fantastic for all occasions - family, friends, and dates! The memories are ever lasting and hopefully it becomes a core memory that lasts a lifetime. Highly recommended to experience, at least once, for your little loved ones. We'll be back next year!

Absolute Disaster on the River Fox Train - Throw Mama from the Train!…read moreI wish I could throw myself from the train after this trip. What a complete mess. The AC was completely broken, turning the entire car into a sweaty sauna. They were "cooling" things by keeping bags of ice on the floor that quickly turned into lukewarm puddles. Of course, that meant the beer and water were all warm too. Nothing says "premium train experience" like sipping hot beer while sweating through your clothes. The charcuterie boards were a total scam. The menu looked great, but what actually showed up was a sad, half-empty version with tons of items missing. Ingredients didn't match the description at all. Then, when people started complaining, they announced free food... but only for passengers who didn't order the charcuterie boards. That's fantastic if you're part of the 10% who didn't order one. For the 90% of us who did? Tough luck. To top it off, our car didn't receive any food service until about 30 minutes before arrival. We paid for a nice experience and basically got a rushed, incomplete plate right as we were pulling in. The only bright spot was our server Ashley. She was running around like crazy in that heat, hustling hard and staying positive when everything else was falling apart. She deserves a medal (and a better employer). Save your money and skip this train. Not worth it.
