Upcoming SF Events to Watch Out for in September 2018

If you’re looking for events and activities to add in your September calendar, start with this list:

• Catch a ballgame at AT&T Park

  Major League Baseball’s regular season is coming to a close, so be sure to root for the home team before it ends. The San Francisco Giants host the Mets, Braves, Rockies, Padres, and Dodgers all throughout the month.

  A brief drive across the Bay serves up some more baseball action, courtesy of the Oakland Athletics. See how this team is climbing in rank and reputation as one of baseball’s best clubs this season. They go up against the Mariners, Yankees, Rangers, Angels, and Twins in September.

• Experience the San Francisco Bay in the year’s most accommodating weather

  September is one of the best times to enjoy year-round attractions around the Bay Area. Gone are the summer vacation crowds that clogged up street traffic, as well as the puzzling summertime fog and windy afternoons. All that’s left for you to do is to enjoy the sights in beautiful, warm weather.

  If this is your idea of a September getaway, the free walking tour of the Golden Gate Bridge should be worth your time. Learn more about this iconic bridge as you walk across it. Walking tours are available every Thursday and Sunday, starting at 11 AM.

  Another excellent way to take in the sights and sounds of San Francisco is by hopping on a relaxing cruise ship. There are plenty of rides to choose from, including sunset cruises, casual bay traverses, and high-speed rocket boat cruises for thrill-seekers.
