📆Issue No. 84 - August 29-31, 2026

Happy Friday, friends!

The Pokémon World Championship is taking over Moscone Center all weekend, and there are ways for families to get in on the action around the city. Beyond that, it's a great weekend to get outside, connect with community, and join in on cultural celebrations happening across SF.

Also, Field Trip Social Club, our IRL social club for families. Our very first field trip is TODAY at the Zoo. Come walk around, stay for Sunset Sips, or do both. It's not too late to grab your permission slip. Hope to see you soon!

As always, if we missed your favorite happening around the city, reply here or find us at [email protected].

Let’s get into the weekend!

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.
