This is a webstie 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 (-:
