Hey guys, it's the weekend. Almost. But you knew that already. (Also, ugh, Fourth of July falls on a Wednesday, so it will fell like one long late Sunday afternoon. So cruel.) Be sure to check out two things happening this weekend. One involving oysters in the park, the other no cars.
Saturday: From 11am-6pm, the annual Oysterfest will go down in Sharon Meadow at Golden Gate Park. Tickets are still available for $35 (not including food and beverage). A few oyster purveyors will be Drakes Bay Oysters, Gustavos, O’Reillys, Saltwater, and more. Also, DJ Aaron Axelson shall spin vinyl beats while you get ripped on Wild Turkey. Slurp.
Sunday: Take to your bike or feet and head to the Mission for Sunday Streets. Look, there will be parking available near the route, but, come on, just walk over or take public transit. Don't clog up surrounding streets with your gas guzzler. (Unless you have a pristine 1970s antique in polished earth tones. In which case, have at it. Show of your bad-ass self.) Here's a map of the route, which runs along Valencia Street from 14th to 24th and 24th Street from Valencia to Hampshire. 6:00 am to 6:00 pm.
