A weekend lineup features a new film by Oakland filmmaker Boots Riley, described as wild, surreal, hilarious, and hard-hitting. Barbecue coverage highlights the global expansion of the category and Yelp’s annual list of top barbecue joints, with Bay Area representation. A newly released racing game, Forza Horizon 6, is presented as a standout entry. Dining news includes Michelin Guide “new discoveries” that precede summer star announcements, with Bay Area and California restaurants receiving recognition. Live entertainment options range from Carnaval San Francisco to dinosaur shows in Oakland and the Air Guitar Championship. Additional content includes a barbecue book by celebrity friends Cedric the Entertainer and Anthony Anderson, plus a homecoming performance by jazz prodigy Nathan Tokunaga.

"The barbecue world is going global, which means Yelp's annual list of the top 100 barbecue joints is changing. But the Bay Area is still well-represented."
"From the annual blast of fun that is Carnaval San Francisco to roaring dinosaurs in Oakland and the wild Air Guitar Championship, there are a lot of great shows and concerts to catch this weekend and beyond."
