Located between Sacremento and Clay Streets, Battery Street and Justin Herman Plaza, just steps from BART, Muni and the California Street cable car line. The Ghirardelli family produced chocolate here from 1893 until the early 1960s. In 1964, after several years of renovation and restoration, Ghirardelli Square became the country's first manufacturing complex preserved and renovated into a festival marketplace. The Square occupies the block bounded by North Point, Polk, Beach and Larkin on the northern waterfront. In the heart of Japantown, just minutes from Union Square, the complex is the site of several seasonal festivals.
