The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) welcomes families and inter-generational audiences to the museum for its Free Family Day on Sunday, March 10, 2019.
In addition to free access to all the galleries (other than surcharged exhibitions), Free Family Day will offer an array of storytelling experiences and creative hands-on activities, including in-gallery art making, story time with San Francisco Public Library librarians, and a screening of the enchanting film Wonderstruck, presented in collaboration with SFFILM. Drop in to the Public Knowledge Library on Floor 2 to create a map of your San Francisco memories, taking inspiration from the detailed miniature replica of 1938 San Francisco that is the focus of the exhibition Public Knowledge: Take Part.
Special Free Family Day activities will conclude at 4 pm, but the galleries will remain accessible until the museum closes at 5 pm.
SFMOMA, 151 Third St., SF

Our dynamic and diverse pooch population is a joy for many of us to behold. Not so the mess they create. Since we’ve been experiencing a rash of doggie accidents in the hallways and garage, we’d like to revisit the protocol for pets at the Madrone.
Let’s do our best to ensure the health, happiness and safety of human and pet residents.
You can always contact Management with any questions or concerns about this issue at 415-556-1678 or via email at ggorman@actionlife.com.

Pick your own tulips on American Tulip Day in San Francisco. On March 2, 2019, a colorful display of more than 100,000 tulips will cover Union Square in San Francisco. Best of all, you’re invited to visit and to pick your own bunch of tulips.
The ”tulip garden” at Union Square will open to the public at 1 pm and close at 4:30 pm. Arrive early because by the end, all 100,000 tulips will have been picked, so take some home to give your household a wonderful feeling of early spring.
Plus, March 8 is International Women’s Day. What better way to celebrate this special day than with a bunch of fresh colorful tulips? Access to the garden is free and so are the tulips.

Delight at watching other people freeze their tail ends off as they take a plunge for a good cause in Aquatic Park for the Dash and Splash, a benefit the Special Olympics of Northern California.
Unlike the Escape From Alcatraz triathlon, these nearly 1,000 brave souls won’t be swimming, just braving it—some in wacky costumes—for a quick, but agonizing dip in the chilly waters of the SF Bay.
