From world-class festivals to neighborhood gatherings, there is something for everyone to enjoy in the year ahead. Mark your calendars for some of our favorite can’t–miss events happening across the Bay Area in 2025:
1. Bay To Breakers (May 18): This iconic foot race is most famous for its costumes, with many participants wearing wacky or unconventional dress during the 12 kilometer race. The race is recognized as one of the world’s largest foot races, and travels from the Embarcadero, across the Great Highway, and up to Ocean Beach. Participate in the historic fun this year with a 12 or 15 kilometer race, or enjoy the race from afar on May 18.

In addition to the incredible musicians there, OSL features 100% local vendors, with nearly 100 every year.
