📆Issue No. 65 - April 25-27, 2026

Happy Friday, friends!

If your weekend isn't booked yet, it's about to be. We've got a park birthday party for Fracisco Park and Sunset Dunes, a farm celebration, a Día de los Niños celebration and Earth Day vibes all over the city. Whether you're into dogs, dirt, or dancing to Pete the Cat (yes, the musical is still running at the Children's Creativity Museum), there's something for every kind of SF kid this weekend.

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.

Now, let’s get into the weekend. Enjoy!

🐾Pete the Cat Playdate🐾

We're organizing a Local Kiddo crew for Pete the Cat the Musical on Sunday, May 3 at the Children's Creativity Museum. The plan: meet at Yerba Buena playground at 12:30pm for around an hour of slides and sandbox, then head inside for the show at 2pm. Singing cats included. Don’t forget to use the code KIDDO10 for discounted tickets.
Grab your tickets here and fill out our interest form so we can coordinate. The more the merrier.

💬 THE GROUP CHAT 💬

We won't do a sports bracket, but a playground bracket? Absolutely. We're crowdsourcing your faves. What's the best playground in SF? Not the one closest to your house. The one you'd actually drive across town for. Reply and tell us. We're keeping score.

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.
