Sommerfest Above Muir Woods
Germans are well known for their love of festivals. The best known of these is, of course Oktoberfest, but there are numerous others, no less thrilling, that have the misfortune of often being overshadowed by their wildly popular (and wildly mischievous) autumnal cousin. One of the other best loved German festivals is Sommerfest, and this joint German/Austrian celebration of summer, long days, and warm nights will be coming to the Bay Area on July 15th!
4th of July Celebration Options
The Fourth of July is fast approaching, and even though it is landing on a Wednesday this year (meaning that most of us are going to need to trudge back to our jobs almost immediately after the smoke from the fireworks clears) there are plenty of ways for you and your loved ones to celebrate within the Bay Area.
Time for Wine! The 2018 Oakland Wine Festival
Wine: it is a constant feature of this blog. We love it, and we suspect that you might feel the same way. One of the greatest things about the Bay Area is its proximity to some of the best vineyards in this hemisphere. With Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley so close at hand, the finest wines crafted by some of the finest vintners is available to us. With such a plethora of marvelous wine choices, the difficulty comes in trying to narrow down the search for the wine that is truly your perfect palate match. This is why events such as the 2018 Oakland Wine Festival are so essential: they give you the opportunity to experience many different wines at a fraction of the cost it would take to purchase that many bottles.

One of the most exciting upcoming offerings at Union Square is KalayaanSF.

What would you say if I told you that the 6th of May was recently crowned the official How Weird Day for San Francisco? And then what would you say if I told you that the official How Weird Day also featured and entire How Weird Street Faire?

International Chocolate Festival
Chocolate, perhaps the most notorious of all guilty pleasures (and, let’s be honest, most of us don’t even feel that guilty about it anymore), is already a staple of the Bay Area’s luxury food scene. All throughout the city, one can find fantastic chocolate made by some of the world’s most renowned chocolatiers.
