I’m taking a week off from my normal Inspiration Saturday posts to share some local events around the Bay. The first four events happen THIS WEEKEND, so they are good for last-minute planning. One of the Walnut Creek events you can plan ahead for. Enjoy!
Peninsula
The 50th Annual Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival takes place this weekend after a two-year COVID hiatus. There will be food, drink, entertainment, and more!
San Francisco
World Arts West presents Dance in the Park, a free event at The Presidio from 12-5 p.m. today. You can bring a picnic and sit in the grass to enjoy dances from all over the world, including Egypt, China, and Mexico.
Marin
Bikes, beers, and bands? Sounds great! Biketoberfest in TBD connects all three, offering 35 bike exhibitors, 15 breweries, and much more. This event takes place today from 12-5 p.m. Buy tickets here!
East Bay
If you are around Walnut Creek, the city is hosting Oktoberfest tomorrow from 12-7 pm. I will be in attendance at Civic Park, soaking up the lederhosen & dirndls with a stein of beer in hand!

Also, Walnut Creek’s 3rd annual Trunk-or-Treat event takes place on Friday the 28th from 3-6 p.m. in Civic Park! Families can bring kids to trick or treat through vendor trunks, and take in some exciting booths along the way. Learn more.
