Dear readers,
During the next few weeks, we would like to write up a short series on holiday-related events and activities — but not the typical homogenized corporate fare. We’re looking for authentic and uniquely local cultural activities that bubble up from San Francisco’s underground.
Suggestions and ideas are very welcome as part of a collective brainstorm. We’re looking to examine San Francisco-specific events, as far off the Hallmark-holiday-beaten path as possible. We are looking for that rare, well-wrapped present that flies in under the radar. It does not make sense for us to include anything that already garners heavy media attention, because there is little we can add.
The Ghiradelli Square tree lighting ceremony probably does not qualify. The Renegade Craft Fair at Fort Mason is a better fit: attendance is free, it supports small businesses, and we had never heard of it before doing a little research.
We’re looking for a dozen items; you are invited to make suggestions below. Check back for daily posts.
