October 23–25 · 4 events in SoMa on our calendar, and 5 more nearby. This page updates itself as the weekend changes.
SoMa, short for South of Market, is downtown's engine room: the convention center, the ballpark, the big museums, and the headquarters of several companies you have heard of, all on wide blocks that were industrial a century ago and are half construction site now. Our SoMa guide.
