📆Issue No. 62 - April 4-6, 2026

Happy Friday, friends!

There are over 20 egg hunts and Easter activities happening this weekend, but even if that's not your family's thing, there's plenty more going on. Concerts, block parties, grown adults racing tricycles down a giant hill, and if you are into monster trucks, you could head across the bridge to Monster Jam. You'll find something. 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.

Closing: LaunderLand Circus, the circus show at the Children’s Creativity Museum, with monster laundry, dancing pants, giant puppets and more closes on Sunday.

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

💬 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.
