Best Things to Do in the Bay Area This June

What are the best things to do in the Bay Area during June? Don’t even get me started…

June not only ushers in summer, but Gay Pride Month, Father’s Day, Juneteenth, street festivals and county fairs all happen this month. Beyond that, summer concert series like the Stern Grove Festival and more give you countless opportunities to enjoy the sunny weather. Sprinkle in a full schedule of major and minor league sports, and you have yourself a fabulous time to visit the Bay Area.
