More tourists visit the Bay Area in July than any other month. The weather in San Francisco is fabulous all year long, so why might this be? For one, the area’s 4th of July festivities are second to none.

Chinatown San Francisco
Have you visited the oldest and largest Chinatown in the U.S? Restaurants, historic streets and alleys, herbal shops, the Bank of Canton, and the Sing Chong Building are among Chinatown San Francisco’s world-renowned attractions. Upon entering this cultural gem, visitors walk beneath an inscription, which reads the following when translated: "All under heaven is for the good of the people." Established in 1848, this neighborhood is home to about 70,0000 residents – with its own hospitals, parks, post office, and more – and is said to attract more visitors than the iconic Golden Gate Bridge.
San Francisco Segway Tours
San Francisco has long been known for its unique and iconic sets of wheels as area residents and visitors are continually discovering new and exciting ways to get around the city. Each year, millions of travelers ride the San Fran trolley, and if your timing is right, you might just find hordes of body-painted fixed-gear bicyclists parading through the heart of California’s Bay Area. Nowadays, however, there is another way to tour the city: seeing San Fran via Segway is all the rage. From urban sightseeing to Segway ballet, the Segway seems to be everywhere!

Warriors: 2014-15 NBA Finals Champions
This chant echoed through the Bay Area’s Oracle Arena back at home as Golden State defeated the Cavaliers at the Q in downtown Cleveland on Tuesday, June 16th. Fans far and wide are celebrating the Warriors’ Game 6 win – and, therefore, their 2014-15 NBA Championship – against the mighty Cavs and their all-star player Lebron James. The entire Bay area is, figuratively speaking, holding up the Larry O’Brien Trophy this week.
Just Passing Through: Sculptures and Installations 2015
Just Passing Through: Sculptures and Installations features larger-than-life sculptures and other oversized, breathtaking pieces. Nature, memory, and community are among the various topics visitors will contemplate. This exhibition is truly unique as most of the masterpieces include instructions from the artists: guests are called to climb on, to crawl through, and sometimes even to become a part of the art itself. San Francisco Bay Area’s May Wilson, Llewelynn Fletcher, and Sasha Petrnko – sometimes in collaboration with renowned New York artist Austin Thomas – have fashioned many of the exhibition’s stunning 3D installations.
Game 5: The Warriors are back at Oracle Arena!
Golden State lost their home court advantage in Game 2 and Game 3 but regained it in Game 4, an impressive team effort. The Dubs overcame a career-high 28 points from the Cleveland Cavalier’s Timofey Mozgov while the Golden State Warrior’s baby faced assassin found his groove with 22 points. During the first three games the Cavalier’s Lebron James played like an all-time NBA great, but during the fourth game it became clear that the Cavaliers can’t win unless their MVP is stealing the show.
