TRANSPORTATION UPDATE FOR OCT. 4 NIKKEI ANGEL ISLAND PILGRIMAGE

To those attending the Nikkei Angel Island Pilgrimage on Oct. 4, it is highly recommended to take the early ferries out of Tiburon and Pier 41 (SF):

10 a.m. out of Tiburon*. Arrives at 10:20 a.m.
9:45 a.m. out of Pier 41 in SF (near Pier 39). Arrives at Angel Island 10:15 a.m.

* There is an 11 a.m. ferry out of Tiburon, but no shuttle service from the Ayala Cove to the Immigration Station until 12:30 p.m.

The next available ferry out of Pier 41, at 11:45 a.m., will arrive at 12:15 p.m., and may make you miss part of the formal program, which starts at 12:30 p.m.

For those who wish, and especially seniors, a shuttle service is available from the dock at Ayala to the Immigration Station at 10: 30 a.m. or 12:30 p.m. for $5. We suggest that you pre-book the shuttle here: https://angelisland.zaui.net/modules/webBooking/

Please plan to arrive at least 20 minutes before departure at the docks, as the ferries leave promptly at their designated times, and our volunteers will need to check you in. If you come early to the Immigration Station, you can visit the exhibits, and enjoy a leisurely walk to the Immigration Station.

HELP US SUPPORT STUDENTS / VOLUNTEERS!
Please consider donating a little extra to help us defray the ferry, museum and bento lunch costs. Donations accepted on Brown Paper Tickets with no additional processing fees.

The Bay Area weather in October is generally quite pleasant.  However, the weather can fluctuate from warm & sunny to cold & windy. So, light layers are recommended.  We suggest a jacket, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and towel or blanket to sit on as the program and picnic lunch will be outdoors.

Accessibility
There are ramps throughout the exterior of the immigration station, which allow access to the different parts of the site, and there is a lift that allows one to get into the historic barracks.
