Every day at 5:30pm
Filoli Historic House & Garden · Woodside
A historic estate turns into a glowing Halloween storybook after dark: 1,000 jack-o'-lanterns light the redwood trail, a witch's curse haunts the candlelit mansion, and a harvest party keeps the cider flowing. All atmosphere, zero jump-scares.
Sat, Jul 3 · 11:30 AM
Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University · Stanford • Free
Walk through the largest Rodin collection in the US with a guide who knows every sculpture's story. Nearly 100 bronzes and marbles wait across airy galleries and a garden where The Thinker broods in the California sun.
Sat, Jul 3 · 5:00 PM
San Francisco Wine School · The East Side
A weekly pop-up wine bar led by Master Sommelier David Glancy serving rare and unexpected bottles you won't find elsewhere. Monthly themes, low-intervention options, and chef-crafted Nosh Boards make it easy to explore.
Mon, Jul 5 · 7:00 PM
7 Stars Bar & Grill · Downtown • $$
A sports bar for nerds where Star Wars memorabilia covers every surface and themed cocktails flow freely. Trivia nights, movie marathons, and a crowd that gets your references.
Browse the South Bay neighborhood by neighborhood, get ideas just for you, or ask me anything.

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.
