📆Issue No. 74 - June 27-29, 2026

Happy Friday, friends!

This weekend your family can go hiking, birdwatching, skateboarding, to the circus, to the Pride Parade, and more.

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?

Did you know

  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?

  3. The Scarlet the Corpse Flower (Amorphophallus titanum) at the Conservatory of Flowers is past peak bloom but still on display, so visit soon if you still haven’t seen it.

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.
