Free Events in San Francisco
Are you looking to be entertained during your stay here in San Francisco? Here is a list of
free events this summer you will enjoy. I recommend you take MUNI (public transit in San Francisco)
to these events. It will cost you $1.50 for the ride (remember that a transfer is good for extra
trips within an hour).
If you want to know what buses or trains you need to take, check out 511.org. And remember
that because of traffic, schedules are only estimates.Make sure you leave enough time in your
travel for late buses and other events that may delay your trip.
For a list of even more events, not just those that are free, check out sfgate.com. San
Francisco offers amazing concert venues and live theatre companies, including musicals, dramas,
comedies, and experimental productions.
