What to do this Weekend in the San Francisco Bay Area: The 9.15.2023 Edit

WEEKENDS IN THE BAY AREA

As September unfolds and fall settles in the Bay Area, let these events inspire your weekend fun. Experience the charm of Corgi Con at the Alameda County Fairgrounds, a celebration of all things corgi. Oktoberfest is in full swing across the Bay, including Schroeder's lively annual block party in the city. And if you're looking to mix it up and try something new, we suggest giving Mahjong a try over at Baba House in Oakland, where they've got the "aunties" on deck to help you learn the game. Embrace September in style and let the weekend adventures begin.
