This is a website to celebrate holidays in San Francisco. The San Francisco Bay Area has a lot of great holiday events but I'm doing this as a hobby and it's hard to keep track of everything. But if you have a family-friendly and preferably free holiday, Christmas, Kwanza, Hanukkah, Solstice or anything else, please share it with me - the more the merrier! Holidays in San Francisco are full of events that celebrate this place's diversity and warmth even if living here can be difficult. That's why I made holidays in San Francisco in the first place (-: 
​All photos taken and owned by Trevor McNeil. In the past we have focused on free events, this year 2022, we're expanding to paid stuff because artists, local shops, and musicians are still struggling after COVID.
