How To Do Summer In The Bay
It's our favorite season!
Forget Christmas. Summer is the most wonderful time of the year, and we couldn’t be more excited to peel off the layers we’ve lived in since autumn and get into some sun-soaked mischief. (Not without slapping on some sunscreen first, of course.) Whether your plans include taking refuge directly in front of the nearest air conditioner, raging to your favorite festival headliner on the shoulders of some stranger, or packing the cooler and getting your tan on beneath that big old bridge of ours, we’ve got your guide on how to do a summer in the Bay right. The living might be easy, but we're still planning to go hard.
See you out there!
MUSIC & FESTIVALS
From Outside Lands to Phono del Sol, Pride Weekend to 20th Street Block Party, Burger Boogaloo to Stern Grove Festival, there's no denying the sheer amount of great events happening around the Bay this summer. Enter to win tickets to Trevor Noah, Kendrick Lamar with Chance The Rapper and Travis Scott, and hundreds of other shows and festivals on our guestlist, and get ready to dance like no one's watching (except maybe Karl the Fog).
GET OUT!
Whether you're looking for an excuse to get out of town, do some exploring in your own backyard, or let it all hang out (literally), we've rounded up our favorite hikes, day trips, swimming spots, and more.
WAYS TO CELEBRATE
Summertime packs in some serious reasons to celebrate with Pride weekend, the Fourth of July, and Labor Day. Fire up the grill, ice down some beverages, and get your friends together for some fun in the sun.
EAT & DRINK
If there's one thing we love to do during summer, it's eat and drink outdoors as much as humanly possible. Here's where you'll find us shucking oysters, checking out the newest bars + restaurants, chowing down on BBQ, and getting saucy in the sun all summer long.
