The Walt Disney Family Museum · Presidio Terrace
Welcome, foolish mortals: the 2023 Haunted Mansion screens in the museum's Fantasia-themed theater, poured alongside New Orleans-inspired wines from Healdsburg's Flambeaux Wine. A 21+ spooky-season treat with bites from Presidio Bowl.

Bid farewell to Hawkins in style. The Stranger Things finale hits the big screen at the historic Alameda Theatre, complete with a NYE carnival and those dreamy LUX recliners.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
