Summer in San Francisco

Though summer will be winding down, San Francisco is the place to visit this September. Not only is the weather still gorgeous, but there are some great events happening and deals to be had!

Take an art exhibition expedition, and visit four blockbuster museum exhibitions: Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs at the de Young Museum, Georgia O’Keeffe and Ansel Adams at the SFMOMA, Lords of the Samurai at the Asian Art Museum, and Push Play at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.

If you’re visiting over the weekend the weekend, head to Marlena’s in Hayes Valley on Saturday nights for an old fashioned drag show led by Galilea, including elaborate costuming, professional performances, and a lively bar scene. With the popularity of RuPaul’s Drag Race and the reminders of the actions of drag queens in the Stonewall Riots over 40 years ago, maybe it’s time you saw what drag is all about!

Lots more after the jump.


Don't miss San Francisco's longest running show: Beach Blanket Babylon. September 4 is Gay Night: As part of their 35th year anniversary, BBB hosts a special night for our community. This is the longest running musical revue in theatrical history and features zany comedy, elaborate costumes and outrageous hats.

Also coming up is Folsom Street Fair, Sunday, Sept. 27: This is the largest street fair in the world of its kind, encompassing 13 city blocks and including more than 400,000 people. While it welcomes the broad spectrum of South of Market lifestyles, including leather, BDSM, uniforms, fetish, and other alternatives, Folsom Street Fair also raises money for a variety of local charitable organizations. This year’s fair features two live stages, 250 booths, hot food, cold drinks, artists and more.

And as if that wasn’t enough, round out your summer with a San Francisco Giants game at AT&T Park as Donna Sachet sings the national anthem on Tuesday, Sept. 29. In 1994 the SF Giants were the first-ever professional sports team to host an AIDS benefit game with Until There’s a Cure Day. Now, they may well be the first to invite a drag queen to sing our nation’s song at the start of the game. Indeed, only in San Francisco!
