If you enjoy hunting for buried treasure, walking through a kelp forest and dressing as a sea monster, you’re in luck this weekend. The Cabrillo Marine Museum in San Pedro has its Autumn Sea Fair on Saturday, featuring these and other family activities.

What: Autumn Sea Fair.

When: 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday.

Where: Cabrillo Marine Museum, 3720 Stephen White Drive, San Pedro.

Background: Nearly two dozen organizations will display items relating to marine life, ocean conservation, and maritime arts and crafts.

At 2:30 p.m., a county fireboat will put on a water demonstration in the harbor just off Cabrillo Beach.

Back by popular demand are such games as “Feed the Great White Shark,” “Stick It to the Anemone,” “Bowling for Burrows” and “Dunk Boothy,” according to Larry Fukuhara, the museum’s program director. Horace Staubley will create his whale-sized soap bubbles too.
