San Francisco Events in June 2026

San Francisco events in June kick off the summer. The days are cool, flowers are in bloom all over the city, and there are so many fun things to do. I love exploring the city this time of year.

Soak in the lively atmosphere at the Pride Parade and Festival, the Mission Carnaval Parade and Celebration, or at one of our outdoor night markets.

Grab a ticket to watch the San Francisco Giants baseball or the Golden State Valkyries women's basketball teams.

June is the month to spoil your dad. Discover the best things to do for Father's Day on my page dedicated to this special day.

This month is also a great time to check out one of our free events, such as a street fair, or visit a museum on one of the free admission days.

June is when the sea lions head down south for the breeding season, so you may need to visit the docks at Pier 39 a couple of times during your visit to catch them. 

Important note: Friday, June 19, is Juneteenth, a state holiday. Certain government offices, banks, and a few other businesses will be closed, but most attractions and museums remain open.
