📆Issue No. 76 - July 10 -13, 2026

Happy Friday, friends!

We’re so excited for this weekend because we’ll be meeting some of you at our Playday with Maker Studio Kidz. We’ll also be seeing talented youth perform Le Peitit Cirque at the Children’s Creativity Museum. If you're not able to make either one, there is still a ton for your family to do. Find a volunteer event around the city for One City Day, catch live music at Ferry Fest, or sing your heart out at an Encanto Sing-Along. Something for everyone this weekend.

All summer, keep an eye out for 🪣, it means that pick counts toward our Ultimate SF Summer Bucket List. How many can you check off?

Let’s get into it!

As always, if we missed your favorite happening around the city, reply here or find us at [email protected]. We’ll see you again in your inbox on Tuesday.
