How We Pick
These are rule-based picks from our own event calendar, not reviews, ratings or sponsored spots. Nobody pays to be listed and we link no tickets. Events earn points for: happening only on the weekend shown, a short run rather than a months-long one, the tag the list is about, matching other tags, and having a time, a venue, a description and a picture on file. Ties go to the earlier start. Each pick states the reason it scored.
The list rebuilds from the calendar on its own, and the weekend it shows follows the clock in San Francisco. After 7 p.m. on Sunday it moves to the following weekend.
What We Could Not Confirm
- Prices and times come from each event page and the organizer’s listing. Check the organizer before you go; they change.
- An event with no price on file shows ‘Price not listed’ and is never counted as free.
- We have not visited these events. A pick is a calendar match, not a quality judgment.
