Mother’s Day arrives Sunday, May 9, and there is no shortage of ways to spend quality time with family in honor of the occasion.
Local venues in San Francisco and beyond are preparing parklets and newly constructed performance areas to celebrate the season, as vaccination rates spark a slight relaxation of public health guidelines. Examples include District Six, a SOMA StrEat Food Park-curated outdoor food truck and entertainment area in the city, and Out Front at the UC Theatre in Berkeley, which features a street bar, casual outdoor dining and live music from 6:30-10 p.m., Thursdays-Saturdays. The Blue Note Napa is also set for a pivot to outdoor entertainment, with a robust live music series hosted at the Charles Krug Winery in St. Helena starting up later this month; and there’s also the return of San Rafael’s weekly Dine Under the Lights, which offers live music and al fresco dining on Thursday-Friday evenings.
