Saturday, March 2, 2019 – 1:00 pm to 4:30 pm | Cost: FREE

Union Square | 333 Post St, San Francisco, California

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.

Get down on delicious dumplings, bottomless kumquat mimosas, and Chinese beers at the biggest Lunar New Year food festival in San Francisco — Dumpling Down!

Vendors from all over the Bay Area will be steaming, frying, baking, and boiling authentic Chinese dim sum classics like shumai, bao buns, and xiao lung bao — each filled with traditional delights like shrimp, pork, cabbage, and chives!

Once you’ve dumpling’d to your heart’s delight, sink your chopsticks into other Chinese treats! Onion pancakes, sesame balls, and Taiwanese-style shaved ice cream will also dot the menus of all your favorite Asian food trucks.

Celebrate the year of the pig by diving into a mountain of delicious dumplings with us!

#DUMPLINGDOWN

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.

2019 “Dash and Splash”

Saturday, February 23, 2019 | 9:30 am to 1 pm
Aquatic Park, 900 Beach St, SF
FREE to watch

The 3K/5K Fun Run/Walk travels through San Francisco’s most beautiful neighborhoods and is just as crazy and fun as the plunge itself with wacky costumes. Runners and walkers can pay a flat registration fee or raise additional funds for the Special Olympics.
