NewCo Tech & Innovation Festival
Get invited inside some of S.F.'s most innovative companies at this annual conference celebrating startup and tech culture. If you can snag a free ticket, companies like Airbnb, Pinterest, and Twitter open their doors to give you a behind-the-scenes peek at their latest projects.
Thursday and Friday, Sept. 11-12, 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. at 20+ venues throughout S.F. Free but registration required; visit sf.newco.co.
Rock Balancing Gathering
Ever see those impossibly-balanced towers of rocks at Crissy Field that seem to defy all logic and gravity? Expert balancers teach you how to stack rocks and create your own earth sculpture using Zen and patience rather than glue.
Saturday, Sept. 13, 11 a.m. at Crissy Field just east of the Warming Hut Cafe, S.F. Free; visit rockstacking.weebly.com.
Open Gardens Day
At least for one day, bypass the long wait list to join one of S.F.'s community gardens. Twenty-one of the city's volunteer-run gardens open up to the public for tours and free workshops. Garden representatives will even send you home with free compost to start your own garden.
Saturday, Sept. 13, 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. at various S.F. locations. Free; visit sfrecpark.org/event/open-gardens-day.
Comedy Day in the Park
Robin Williams may be gone, but the laughter carries on at the 34th Annual Comedy Day — the city's biggest one-day comedy festival. For more than five hours, 40 top local comics take turns performing standup, with national headliners sometimes stopping by for surprise appearances.
Sunday, Sept. 14, noon - 5:30 p.m. at Sharon Meadow, Golden Gate Park, S.F. Free; comedyday.org.
