Summer's Last Weekend: the Giants, Dragon Boats & an Autumn Moon

Wednesday, September 16, 2015

With weather temperatures headed back up, the last weekend of summer should be picture perfect. Beginning on Friday, the S.F. Giants close out this home stand with three games against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Muni service will take you to and from AT&T Park. Then on Saturday and Sunday, be sure to head out to Treasure Island for the Dragon Boat Festival. Muni's 25 Treasure Island Route may see increased ridership.

As part of the city’s Make Your Market initiative designed to revitalize Market Street’s sidewalks and plazas, Public Works launches Art Night SF in UN Plaza this Thursday from 5 to 9pm. Be sure to stop by and enjoy some art, food, music and more.

Salesforce’s annual convention, Dreamforce, is now underway at the Moscone Center. Be advised that a closure of Howard Street between Third and Fourth streets is now in effect and will continue through 8 p.m. on Sunday, September 20.

If you plan on attending the Dreamforce convention, your best transportation option will be using the Muni Metro subway to either Powell or Montgomery stations.

With the start of fall set to begin next Wednesday, the Autumn Moon Festival returns to help usher in the new season. Festivities kick off on Saturday with a parade at 11 a.m. beginning at California and Grant streets. Festival activities will include music and dance entertainment, an open-air street bazaar and a dog costume contest! There will certainly be something for everyone.

Expect heavy traffic in the area due to street closures and large crowds.

Consider taking Muni to this popular festival. Your transit options include the 1 California, 8 Bayshore, 30 Stockton, 45 Union/Stockton and the California Cable Car Line.

Muni service note: The 10 Townsend and 12 Folsom-Pacific will have re-routes. Other service routes in the area may experience minor delays due to an increase in ridership.
