🖤 What’s Happening This Weekend in San Francisco (Oct 10 – 12)
October in San Francisco hits different. The fog softens, the sun lingers, and the city wakes up with music, motion, and that unmistakable hum of celebration. Here’s what to savor around the Bay this weekend.
✈️ Fleet Week Finale
When: Fri – Sun
Where: Marina Green, Embarcadero, and the Bay
The Blue Angels return to paint the sky — and the waterfront becomes the best seat in the city. Watch ship parades glide under the Golden Gate, climb aboard open-deck tours at Pier 30–32, or sprawl out on the grass at Marina Green for the Air Show (11 am – 4 pm).
Tip: Bring earplugs, sunscreen, and a picnic. The rumble is half the thrill.
🤠 Grand National Rodeo at Cow Palace
When: Fri & Sat
Western tradition meets Bay swagger. Expect bull riding, barrel racing, and live country bands inside one of SF’s oldest arenas.
Pro tip: Stick around for the after-party; locals go all out in boots and denim.
🎤 Dua Lipa – Radical Optimism Tour
When: Sat Oct 11, 7:30 pm
Where: Chase Center
A little sparkle never hurt anyone. Dua’s bringing her shimmering disco pop to the city — expect sequins, synths, and high-octane dance vibes.
🌮 Taco Day at Tato – Pay-What-You-Can
When: Fri Oct 10, 11 am – 5 pm
Where: Bayview
The local favorite taqueria celebrates the art of the taco with a give-what-you-wish menu. Community, spice, and soul in every bite.
🎨 Fridays on Front St. Block Party
When: Fri Oct 10, 4 – 9 pm
Where: Downtown SF
Sip, stroll, and dance under twinkle lights. Live music, pop-up art, and cocktails in the street — the perfect kickoff to a weekend that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
🚋 Vintage Streetcar + Open-Air Boat Tram Rides
When: Fri & Sat
Hop on one of SF’s classic streetcars or open-air trams from Castro to Fisherman’s Wharf for a nostalgic loop through the city.
🌅 Slow Sunday Rituals
When: Sun Morning
Watch the fog roll over Sutro Baths or grab a late brunch at Outerlands (ocean toast heaven). October light hits different — take it slow.
