Bay to Breakers
Some are serious runners; many wear costumes to walk it just for fun. Conceived as a feel good picker-upper after the Great Earthquake of 1906, this 12km footrace weaves through nine neighborhoods from San Francisco Bay to Ocean Beach. Watch for the signature ”centipedes,” creatively costumed groups of 13 or more.

Women’s History Month is an annual declared month that highlights the contributions of women to events in history and contemporary society. Every year San Francisco Public Library celebrates the month with HERstory, honoring and acknowledging the contributions of women and the experience of being female today. All year round, the Library champions women writers, artists, academics and professional leaders in their fields.
Silent Film Festival
