📆Issue No. 54 - January 7-February 8, 2026

Happy Friday, friends!

Super Bowl LX is happening this Sunday in Santa Clara, and while the game itself is down the peninsula, the city is hosting an impressive lineup of family-friendly festivities this weekend. Some Superbowl (and other sporty) activities for the kiddos include Family Studio: Sports Pennants (SFMoMA), Ghirardelli Fan Zone, Big Game Days, Superbowl LX Experience, Big Game Watch Party, Warmup at the Wharf on Saturday and Sunday, and BAHC Live! San Francisco Fan Zone.

Black History Month Programming is happening across the city all month long. This weekend’s activities includes Community Day at the AAACC, Black History Month at the Exploratorium, Faith Ringgold Paper Quilts, and an Ethiopian Music and Dance Workshop.

Lunar New Year Programming continues. Year of the Horse festivities are in full swing. This weekend’s activities includes The Art Playground: Lunar New Year, Workshop: Year of the Horse, a Red Envelope Lanterns workshop, a Dragon Ball Launcher activity, and a Lunar New Year Good Luck Parade & Night Market

*A quick note. As a former public school teacher, I always support paying teachers more. If your kiddo will be effected by the potential SFUSD strike, here is a list of organizations that are offering day camp services: SFUSD Strike Camp List. If you know of an organization or program that is not on the list email [email protected] with additions or corrections.

Let's get into the weekend.
