"With Super Bowl LX festivities in full swing this weekend, there is no shortage of football-themed events, parties and concerts around San Francisco, and the wider Bay Area, to immerse yourself in. But if you don't know who's playing and don't care to find out, San Francisco still has plenty of options. From Bad Bunny lookalike contests and experimental theatre shows to monthly art walks and neighborhood cleanups, here's a guide to what's happening around the city for those sitting out the Super Bowl."
"Magnolia Bloom at San Francisco Botanical Garden The San Francisco Botanical Garden announced last week that the first of its more than 200 rare and historic magnolia trees is in peak bloom. The garden is hosting special magnolia-themed programming including a gourd carving workshop with magnolia motifs, magnolia sketching sessions with science illustrator Sami Chang, and a magnolia field guide creation workshop. Check out the 2026 Magnificent Magnolias Map for a self-guided highlights walk."
