San Francisco Weekend Guide: February 10–12, 2017
The rain and fog have finally passed through the Bay Area, and the sun is making what seems like the most epic comeback of all time. It’s high-time we crawl out of hibernation and have some fun in the sun this weekend.
But, for now… ? I can see clearly now, the rain is gone… ?
This weekend is filled with various festivities all over the city like the 2017 SF Beer Week Gala, the Southwest Chinese New Years Parade, and Giants Fan Fest! Valentine’s is landing on a Tuesday this year, so celebrate early this weekend, or start planning your special day with our Valentine’s Day in San Francisco For Dummies guide.
Whatever you do, get out the house this weekend and enjoy the outdoors while you can, because like the Terminator, the rain will be back!
