#Welovesharks! Kick off Shark Week with all things shark at Shark Bites & Brews on District Pier at The Wharf this Saturday, July 27 from 2-5 p.m.

Ride the great white mechanical shark, cool off with a trip down the monster shark water slide, or get your picture taken at the Winks Photobooth.

For the adults, we’ll be pouring shark themed beers at the bar — grab a cold Landshark Lager, Cisco Shark Tracker or Ballast Point Fathom. For the kids we’ll have a pin the fin on the shark game, coloring station and shark piggy bank decorating.

Ready to win big? Enter one of our relay races and you could be taking home gift cards to Wharf restaurants or a Yeti cooler. Of course, it wouldn’t be the Wharf if we didn’t do it big — catch all the action and learn fun shark facts and conservation efforts on the Jumbotron.

The afternoon is free and open to all, must be 21+ to consume alcohol. For more info please click here or visit www.wharfdc.com.

This event is kid and pet friendly.
