Berkeley Rose Garden
Spring is on its way! Here in the Bay Area, we’re fortunate to enjoy a temperate climate year-round, yet we understand that spring is a symbol of new life, a time to celebrate the beautiful outdoors! Especially if you’re a transplant from another part of the country or even the world – perhaps one that suffers foot upon foot of dense, wet snow – you might have a particular fondness for April and May regardless of where you live now. One of our favorite ways to celebrate Spring is with a visit to the Berkeley Rose Garden in mid May.

San Francisco Film Festival Season 2016
April in most cities around the United States means spring cleaning, celebrating Easter, and rainy days. And while there’s no shortage of any of those things in San Francisco, April in the Bay Area also means one other very important thing – Film Festival Season. April draws film enthusiasts from all corners of the Globe who come to witness one, or all, of the distinct film festivals that take place every spring. Here’s a roundup of the film festivals in April 2016:
May Festivities in San Francisco 2016

The San Francisco Ballet’s Program 5: Dances at a Gathering & Swimmer 2016
Few outings are more sophisticated than an evening at the ballet, and if you’re seeking elegance meets spunk, you might consider the San Francisco Ballet’s Program 5, Dances at a Gathering and Swimmer. These internationally renowned performances will be showcased at the San Francisco Ballet venue, 301 Van Ness Avenue, from March 16th through March 22nd. Witness two brilliant and diverse performances. Isn’t variety one of the many reasons that we adore living in the Greater Bay Area?
Valentine’s Day in San Francisco
The word on the street and on the Internet is that Northern California, or, more specifically, San Francisco of the Greater Bay Area, is the most romantic place in the United States to celebrate Valentine’s Day or maybe even the world! If you aren’t celebrating the holiday whispering sweet nothings to one another on an Italian beach or making kissy faces on the Eiffel Tower, you’ll be sure to find something memorable within San Francisco on February 14th.
