📆Issue No. 73 - June 20-22, 2026

Happy Friday, friends, and Happy Father’s Day to all of the Dads!

This weekend is packed with reasons to get out of the house and explore SF. From NASCAR Days at Pier 39 to bug-filled outdoor adventures to night markets across the city, there's something for everyone.

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?

Closing: Phantom of the Opera will have its last SF show on Sunday, June 21.

  1. That Californians can download a California Historian Passport for free and use it for unlimited visits to participating California State Parks from Juneteenth (today) until the end of 2026? Use this link to download the California Historian Passport.

  2. That you can discover 35 parks, beaches, and nature-filled places across the city, and collect stickers at select locations along the way with a FREE San Francisco Nature Adventure Map? Stop by the Library Day at Yerba Buena Gardens tomorrow, June 20, to get your map!

P.P.S. Want to partner with us? Have an event we should highlight? We work with brands that parents actually want in their lives (you know, the ones that don't make us choose between "kid-friendly" and "still cool"). Email us at [email protected] if that sounds like you.

Click the option that fits, and feel free to tell us why. We read every response because we're nosy like that.
