Eat Drink SF
If your taste buds could see our beautiful city… well, it would be like a visit to Eat Drink SF. This year’s 2015 event will be held from August 20th through the 23rd, and it’s an affair not to be missed.
The Giant Race
Are you a runner? Actually, it doesn’t matter. Whether you love to run or want to walk to support a good cause, everyone is welcome at The Giant Race. This is a win-win for all involved: find yourself at the end of a half marathon, 5K, 10K or kids’ route at AT&T Park! This event is truly baseball-esque, as participants will not only receive a t-shirt and a medal – and the feeling of satisfaction for doing something great! – but a player bobblehead, too!
San Francisco International Dragon Boat Festival
The San Francisco International Dragon Boat Festival is a true Bay Area tradition, and 2015 will mark the race’s 20th year. This event, which is sponsored by Kaiser Permanente, features 40-foot dragon boats. Don’t miss these fantastic creatures as they take their stage, the water, on Saturday and Sunday, September 19th and 20th, from 10 am until 5 pm. Dragon boat racing is both a sport and an art.
Heart of the City Farmers Market
They say that the key to a person’s heart is through his or her stomach. This is particularly true in our beautiful Bay Area. The Heart of the City Farmers Market, located at San Fran’s United Nations Plaza between 7th Street and 8th Street, has been a northern California tradition since 1981. The event occurs two days a week, and it’s year-round. Visit on Sundays between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. and Wednesdays between 7 a.m and 5:30 p.m.…no matter the weather!
Owl City at The Regency Ballroom 2015
“’Cause I get a thousand hugs from ten million lightening bugs,” sings multi-instrumentalist Adam Young of the luminous Owl City who is about to begin the On The Verge Tour. Songs such as “Fireflies,” mentioned above, or “Vanilla Twilight” tug at the heartstrings of teenage girls everywhere, but they aren’t the only listeners who adore Owl City. This American electronica music can be heard at noisy college parties, your local shopping mall, and everywhere in between… and beyond!
Bodega Bay Seafood Art & Wine Festival 2015
Few events are more representative of our Bay Area than the Bodega Bay Seafood Art & Wine Festival.
