I’m missing these events all taking place the first week of San Francisco (I’m leaving Monday, October 1. Drats!) But you don’t have to. If you hurry, you can catch one of the following fun events, whether you’re proclivities tend towards the sporty, the literary or the queer. (Or all of the above.)
- America’s Cup World Series, Oct. 2-7
- Fleet Week, Oct. 4-8
- Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, Oct. 5-7
- Litquake, Oct. 5-13
- Castro Street Fair, Oct. 7 (This one is super gay; see photo above)
- San Francisco Italian Heritage Parade, Oct. 7
- San Francisco 49ers vs. Buffalo Bills, Oct. 7
The folks at San Francisco Travel have posted details on these events and others on their website, www.sanfrancisco.travel. To help you navigate around the city efficiently and economically, the San Francisco Municipal Transit Agency has also provided maps and other transit updates specifically related to these events as well.
