Although September means the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, there are still many things to do in the Bay Area. For most areas, the weather stays warm and sunny, and San Francisco even sees temperatures rise during this month. That means residents and tourists alike are still spending time outdoors, with street festivals, food fairs, concerts and cultural events filling weekends and evenings.
If you’re planning a trip to the Bay Area in September, or if you’re a local trying to kill some time, here are our picks for activities to fill your days. This month we celebrate Labor Day, Latino Heritage Month and regional harvests.
For even more coverage of the Bay Area, plus where to stay and eat while you’re here, check out our region-specific guides to help you travel like a local. In the meantime, click any of the images below to learn what to do in the Bay Area this August.
