San Francisco Weekend Guide: March 3-5

We hate to put a damper on your weekend plans, but after a week of blissful sunshine and perfect temperatures, the rain is making its way back into the forecast for Saturday and Sunday only.

Forecasted to be a wet one, this weekend should be prime time for you to get cozy and binge watch your favorite Netflix series. But for those of you who don’t mind a little water, this weekend guide was curated with you in mind.

Eat, dance, shop, and adventure your way through the city this wet weekend — but whatever you do decided to do, stay dry, drive safe, and enjoy this SF Weekend Guide!
